Cubic Decimeter
A cubic decimeter (dm^3) is a unit of volume equal to the volume of a cube with sides of one decimeter (10 centimeters).
History/Origin
The cubic decimeter has been used as a standard unit of volume in the metric system since its adoption, primarily for scientific and industrial measurements, as a convenient subdivision of the liter.
Current Use
The cubic decimeter is commonly used in scientific, medical, and industrial contexts to measure liquids and other substances, often interchangeably with liters, since 1 dm^3 equals 1 liter.
Stere
The stere (st) is a unit of volume used to measure large quantities of natural gas or other gases, equivalent to one thousand cubic meters (1,000 m³).
History/Origin
The stere originated in France in the 19th century as a practical unit for measuring natural gas volumes, particularly in the gas industry, and has been adopted in various countries for industrial and commercial purposes.
Current Use
Today, the stere is primarily used in the natural gas industry to quantify large volumes of gas, especially in regions where the metric system is standard, facilitating trade and regulation.
