About these units
Cup (UK) (cup (UK))
A UK cup equals 284 mL, slightly larger than both the US cup and the metric cup. Used historically in British cooking, the UK cup is now largely superseded by grams and milliliters, but it remains relevant when interpreting older recipe books and culinary traditions. Its intermediate size provided a convenient measure in a pre-metric world and still appears in baking communities that prefer imperial standards.
Cubic Meter (m³)
The cubic meter is the SI unit of volume, representing the volume of a cube one meter per side. It is vastly larger than a liter, since 1 m³ = 1,000 L. Cubic meters measure the volumes of rooms, shipping containers, refrigeration units, natural gas consumption, and water flows in hydrology and civil engineering. Because it is derived directly from the meter, the m³ integrates perfectly into other SI measurements such as density (kg/m³) and flow rate (m³/s). In industry, pricing and standards for timber, construction materials, and natural gas often use cubic meters. For environmental science, m³ is essential when modeling rainfall runoff, river discharge, or air pollutant concentrations. It stands as the backbone of large-scale volumetric measurement.
