About these units
Femtoliter (fL)
A femtoliter represents 10⁻¹⁵ liters and is commonly used in hematology, particularly in describing red blood cell size. A typical red blood cell has a volume of roughly 80–100 fL, making this unit ideal for medical diagnostics. Beyond medicine, femtoliters are used in microfluidics and nanoparticle research, where reaction chambers or droplets often hold only a few dozen femtoliters of liquid. The femtoliter exemplifies how modern science pushes measurement into realms dominated by statistical motion, molecular interactions, and quantum effects—scales that once seemed impossible to quantify.
Kiloliter (kL)
A kiloliter equals 1,000 liters, identical to 1 cubic meter, and is used in water management, municipal planning, agriculture, and commercial storage. Utility companies measure household water usage in kiloliters. Irrigation requirements, swimming pool volumes, and cistern capacities are also commonly expressed in this unit. Its equivalence to the cubic meter gives it flexibility—metric engineers may prefer m³, while public-facing documentation may use kL for clarity.
