About these units
Cup (Metric) (cup)
A metric cup is defined as 250 mL, differing from both the US cup (236.588 mL) and the UK cup (284 mL). Used extensively in Australia, New Zealand, Canada (informally), and some European cooking contexts, the metric cup provides a clean, simple unit that aligns perfectly with decimal scaling. Its adoption reduces confusion in international recipe exchange and demonstrates the value of standardization for global culinary communication.
Dekaliter (daL)
A dekaliter equals 10 liters and is used primarily in agricultural planning, winery operations, and breweries. Wine production volumes, for instance, are sometimes recorded in dekaliters because it provides a manageable number between the hectoliter and liter scales. In beverage industries, daL simplifies recordkeeping by avoiding excessively large numbers when cataloging batches or tank capacities. Though uncommon in everyday use, the dekaliter plays a practical role in sectors dealing with medium-scale liquid quantities.
