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.
Liter GramL/g
Target UnitThe liter gram (L/g) is a derived unit of mass that expresses the mass of a substance in grams per liter of volume. Specifically, it represents the mass of one liter of water, which is approximately equal to one kilogram at its maximum density (around 4°C). This unit is particularly useful in chemistry and various scientific fields where the density of liquids is a critical factor. For many aqueous solutions, the liter gram provides a convenient way to relate volume and mass, especially given the relatively uniform density of water.
Current Use
Today, the liter gram is primarily used in scientific research, food and beverage industries, and in cooking measurements. It serves as a practical unit for expressing mass in relation to volume, especially for aqueous solutions where the density is close to that of water. Many recipes and lab protocols rely on this unit for accuracy in measurements, making it indispensable in both professional and domestic settings.
Fun Fact
The liter is used in both metric and imperial systems, though its use in the imperial system is less common.

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.

Liter Gram
specific • Non-SI
Definition
The liter gram (L/g) is a derived unit of mass that expresses the mass of a substance in grams per liter of volume. Specifically, it represents the mass of one liter of water, which is approximately equal to one kilogram at its maximum density (around 4°C). This unit is particularly useful in chemistry and various scientific fields where the density of liquids is a critical factor. For many aqueous solutions, the liter gram provides a convenient way to relate volume and mass, especially given the relatively uniform density of water.
History & Origin
The liter gram originated from the need to simplify the relationship between volume and mass, particularly in the context of water and other liquids. The metric system, established in France during the late 18th century, aimed to create a universal standard for measurements. In this framework, the liter was defined as the volume of one kilogram of water, leading to the concept of the liter gram as a practical measurement for mass in relation to volume.
Etymology: The term 'liter' comes from the French word 'litre,' derived from the Latin 'litera,' which means a letter or a measurement. 'Gram' originates from the Greek word 'gramma,' meaning something written or a small weight.
Current Use
Today, the liter gram is primarily used in scientific research, food and beverage industries, and in cooking measurements. It serves as a practical unit for expressing mass in relation to volume, especially for aqueous solutions where the density is close to that of water. Many recipes and lab protocols rely on this unit for accuracy in measurements, making it indispensable in both professional and domestic settings.
💡 Fun Facts
- •The liter is used in both metric and imperial systems, though its use in the imperial system is less common.
- •Water's density is highest at 4°C, which is why 1 liter of water equals approximately 1 kilogram at this temperature.
- •The concept of the liter gram simplifies the understanding of density for substances similar to water, making it easier for educational purposes.
