Hectoliter
A hectoliter (hL) is a unit of volume equal to 100 liters.
History/Origin
The hectoliter is part of the metric system, introduced in the 19th century alongside other metric units for standardization of measurements worldwide.
Current Use
Hectoliters are commonly used in the beverage industry, especially for measuring wine, beer, and other liquid quantities, as well as in agriculture and food production for larger volume measurements.
Cubic Kilometer
A cubic kilometer (km^3) is a unit of volume representing the volume of a cube with edges of one kilometer in length.
History/Origin
The cubic kilometer has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure large volumes, especially in geology, hydrology, and environmental sciences, as a convenient unit for expressing vast quantities of water, earth, or other materials.
Current Use
Today, the cubic kilometer is primarily used in fields such as hydrology to quantify large-scale water volumes, like reservoirs and aquifers, and in geology and environmental science to measure large volumes of earth or other substances.
