YOUR GUIDE To The World Standard Of Measure; The Consumer's Friend
System International (SI)
Le Systeme international d'Unites"
officially came into being in October 1960 as the world
standard of measurement, and has been officially recognized
and adopted by nearly all countries. However, the
amount of actual usage varies considerably. It
is based upon 7 principal units of measure; one in each of
seven different categories.

The S I unit of volume is the cubic meter.
However, this seems to be much less used than the
liter (1000 liters = 1 cubic meter). In 1964,
it was ruled that the word "liter" may be employed
as a special name for the cubic decimeter, with the
additional recommendation that for really accurate
work, to avoid any possible confusion, the liter
should not be used.
