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.
Gallon US Poundgal lb
Target UnitThe gallon US pound is a unit of measurement that denotes the weight of one US gallon of a substance, typically water, which has a density of approximately 8.34 pounds per gallon at 62°F (17°C). This unit is crucial in fields like chemistry and engineering where the mass of liquids is necessary for calculations. The gallon, as a measure of volume, is defined in the context of specific liquid densities, making it essential for accurate mass assessments in practical applications. The unit is widely used in the United States and some other countries that have adopted the gallon as a standard volume measure.
Current Use
Today, the gallon US pound is primarily used in the United States for various applications in agriculture, cooking, and chemical industries. Professionals in these fields often rely on this unit for accurate measurements of liquid ingredients, ensuring consistency in food preparation and formulation of chemical solutions. The gallon is also common in trade, where bulk liquids are often sold by volume, necessitating conversion to weight for shipping and handling. Its widespread acceptance in daily life underlines its importance in both scientific and practical scenarios.
Fun Fact
The US gallon is different from the UK gallon, which is approximately 1.2 times larger.

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

History & Origin
The gallon has its roots in the early medieval period, evolving from the Old French 'galon' and Latin 'gala', used for measuring liquids. The US gallon is formally defined as 231 cubic inches, derived in the 19th century when the US adopted the British imperial gallon, which was based on the volume of 10 pounds of water at a specific temperature. Over time, the US gallon became standardized to differentiate it from other gallon measurements used globally, leading to its current definition.
