Unit Explanations
Cubic Meter Kilogramm³/kg
Source UnitThe cubic meter kilogram is a derived unit of specific volume, defined as the volume occupied by one kilogram of a substance. It is derived from the cubic meter, a unit of volume in the International System of Units (SI), and the kilogram, the base unit of mass. Specific volume expresses how much space a unit mass of a material occupies, which is crucial in various scientific and engineering applications. This unit is particularly relevant in fields such as thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and material science, where understanding the relationship between mass and volume is essential for calculations and design.
Current Use
Cubic meter kilograms are widely used in engineering, physics, and environmental sciences to describe the specific volume of materials, especially gases and liquids. In industries such as HVAC, chemical engineering, and hydrology, this unit helps in designing equipment and understanding fluid dynamics. Specific volume is critical for calculating buoyancy, flow rates, and thermal properties, making it an essential parameter in many scientific and industrial applications.
Fun Fact
The specific volume of gases varies significantly with pressure and temperature, unlike liquids and solids which are generally incompressible.
Chu Pound (176 c)cp
Target UnitThe Chu Pound (176 c) is a unique unit of mass used primarily in certain Asian contexts, representing a weight of 176 Chinese pounds. The Chinese pound, known as '斤' (jīn), is a traditional unit of mass. This specific measurement is particularly relevant in historical and cultural contexts, where traditional Chinese measurements are still in use. The Chu Pound serves as an important reference in culinary, agricultural, and economic discussions within regions that utilize this unit. It facilitates the understanding of weights in traditional Chinese commerce and cooking.
Current Use
Today, the Chu Pound is used predominantly in culinary contexts, particularly in regions where traditional Chinese cooking is prevalent. It is often seen in recipes, where ingredients are measured in jīn, making the Chu Pound essential for chefs and cooks who adhere to traditional methods. Although modern weight systems are widely adopted, the Chu Pound still holds cultural significance in Chinese communities, especially during festivals and traditional events.
Fun Fact
The Chu Pound is part of a traditional measurement system that dates back over 2,000 years.

Cubic Meter Kilogram
specific • Non-SI
Definition
The cubic meter kilogram is a derived unit of specific volume, defined as the volume occupied by one kilogram of a substance. It is derived from the cubic meter, a unit of volume in the International System of Units (SI), and the kilogram, the base unit of mass. Specific volume expresses how much space a unit mass of a material occupies, which is crucial in various scientific and engineering applications. This unit is particularly relevant in fields such as thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and material science, where understanding the relationship between mass and volume is essential for calculations and design.
History & Origin
The cubic meter as a unit of volume originated from the metric system established in France during the late 18th century, while the kilogram was defined in 1795. The combination of these two units into cubic meter kilograms provides a practical means to quantify specific volume, often used in engineering and scientific contexts. This derived unit reflects the relationship between mass and volume essential to many physical principles, especially in understanding how substances behave under different conditions.
Etymology: The term 'cubic meter' derives from the Latin 'cubus' meaning cube, and 'meter' from Greek 'metron', meaning measure. 'Kilogram' combines 'kilo' (thousand) and 'gram', which is derived from the Greek 'gramma', meaning small weight.
Current Use
Cubic meter kilograms are widely used in engineering, physics, and environmental sciences to describe the specific volume of materials, especially gases and liquids. In industries such as HVAC, chemical engineering, and hydrology, this unit helps in designing equipment and understanding fluid dynamics. Specific volume is critical for calculating buoyancy, flow rates, and thermal properties, making it an essential parameter in many scientific and industrial applications.
💡 Fun Facts
- •The specific volume of gases varies significantly with pressure and temperature, unlike liquids and solids which are generally incompressible.
- •Cubic meter kilograms can help in predicting how a substance will behave in different states, such as gas or liquid.
- •Historically, the kilogram was defined by a physical platinum prototype until the 2019 redefinition based on fundamental physical constants.

History & Origin
The Chu Pound has its roots in ancient Chinese measurement systems. The concept of the pound as a unit of weight dates back thousands of years to the development of trade and commerce in China. Historical records show that the Chinese pound was standardized during the Tang Dynasty (618–907 AD), but it varied in weight depending on the region. The specific designation of the Chu Pound emerged later, reflecting the nuanced adaptations of weight systems across different Chinese dynasties and regions.
Etymology: The term 'Chu' is derived from historical Chinese measurements, with '斤' (jīn) signifying 'pound' in Mandarin, emphasizing its weight classification.
Current Use
Today, the Chu Pound is used predominantly in culinary contexts, particularly in regions where traditional Chinese cooking is prevalent. It is often seen in recipes, where ingredients are measured in jīn, making the Chu Pound essential for chefs and cooks who adhere to traditional methods.
