Volume Overview
Definition
Volume refers to the amount of space a substance (solid, liquid, gas) occupies, typically measured in liters, milliliters, gallons, or cubic meters.
History
Ancient civilizations used clay jars and other natural references for volume. The modern metric system was introduced in the 18th century to standardize volume units, while the imperial and U.S. customary systems preserved historical units like gallons and pints.
Usage
Volume units are vital in food preparation, chemistry, industrial processes, environmental studies, and international trade.
Conversion Formula
Conversions in the metric system are based on powers of 10. Converting to/from U.S. units typically requires fixed multipliers like 1 gal = 3.78541 L.
