About these units
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.
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 Used historically in British cooking, the UK cup is now largely superseded by grams and milliliters, but it remains relevant when interpreting older recipe books and culinary traditions.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.
