A cubic meter is the SI unit of volume equal to the volume of a cube with edges one meter long. It equals 1,000 liters and is used for measuring large volumes such as water consumption, natural gas, concrete, and room volumes.
History
The cubic meter is derived directly from the meter, the SI base unit of length. It became the standard SI unit of volume when the metric system was formalized. One cubic meter of water has a mass of approximately one metric ton (1,000 kg).
The US gallon is a unit of volume equal to 128 US fluid ounces, 4 US quarts, or approximately 3.785 liters. It is the standard unit for measuring fuel and large liquid volumes in the United States.
History
The US gallon is derived from the English wine gallon of 231 cubic inches, which was adopted by the United States in 1832. It differs from the imperial gallon (4.546 liters) used in the United Kingdom. The US gallon is most commonly associated with gasoline pricing in America.
