Litre, la mesure de capacité, tant pour les liquides que pour les matières sèches, dont la contenance sera celle du cube de la dixièrne partie du mètre. English translation: " Litre: unit of capacity for both liquids and solids which will be equivalent to a cube of [with sides] one tenth of a metre." In 1979, at the 16th CGPM conference, the alternative symbol L (uppercase letter L) was adopted. It also expressed a preference that in the future only one of these two symbols should be retained, but in 1990 said it was still too early to do so. [11] Everyday usage [ edit ]

Supplied with an expansion relief valve as standard, other safety features include a factory fitted over temperature cut-out designed to activate at 92?C. One litre of water has a mass of almost exactly one kilogram when measured at its maximal density, which occurs at about 4°C. It follows, therefore, that 1000th of a litre, known as one millilitre (1 mL), of water has a mass of about 1g; 1000litres of water has a mass of about 1000kg (1 tonne or megagram). This relationship holds because the gram was originally defined as the mass of 1mL of water; however, this definition was abandoned in 1799 because the density of water changes with temperature and, very slightly, with pressure. The abbreviation "cc" (for cubic centimetre, equal to a millilitre or mL) is a unit of the cgs system, which preceded the MKS system, which later evolved into the SI system. The abbreviation "cc" is still commonly used in many fields, including medical dosage and sizing for combustion engine displacement.

It is now known that the density of water also depends on the isotopic ratios of the oxygen and hydrogen atoms in a particular sample. Modern measurements of Vienna Standard Mean Ocean Water, which is pure distilled water with an isotopic composition representative of the average of the world's oceans, show that it has a density of 0.999 975 ±0.000 001kg/L at its point of maximum density (3.984°C) under one standard atmosphere (101.325 kPa) of pressure.

Free XGT 40V Max Brushless Blower (Battery & charger not included) or XGT 40V Max Kettle (Battery & charger not included) The original decimetre length was 44.344 lignes, which was revised in 1798 to 44.3296 lignes. This made the original litre 1.000 974 of today's cubic decimetre. It was against this litre that the kilogram was constructed. Fonts covering the CJK characters usually include not only the script small ℓ but also four precomposed characters: ㎕, ㎖, ㎗, and ㎘ for the microlitre, millilitre, decilitre and kilolitre to allow correct rendering for vertically written scripts. These have Unicode equivalents for compatibility, which are not recommended for use with new documents: [12]

The litre, though not an official SI unit, may be used with SI prefixes. The most commonly used derived unit is the millilitre, defined as one-thousandth of a litre, and also often referred to by the SI derived unit name "cubic centimetre". It is a commonly used measure, especially in medicine, cooking and automotive engineering. Other units may be found in the table below, where the more often used terms are in bold. However, some authorities advise against some of them; for example, in the United States, NIST advocates using the millilitre or litre instead of the centilitre. [7] There are two international standard symbols for the litre: L and l. In the United States the former is preferred because of the risk that (in some fonts) the letter l and the digit 1 may be confused. [8] Multiple In 1901, at the 3rd CGPM conference, the litre was redefined as the space occupied by 1kg of pure water at the temperature of its maximum density (3.98°C) under a pressure of 1 atm. This made the litre equal to about 1.000 028dm 3 (earlier reference works usually put it at 1.000 027dm 3). In 1964, at the 12th CGPM conference, the original definition was reverted to, and thus the litre was once again defined in exact relation to the metre, as another name for the cubic decimetre, that is, exactly 1dm 3.

Note: There is a difference between US Customary Units and the Imperial System for volume conversions. The US gallon contains 128 US fluid ounces, whereas the Imperial gallon contains 160 Imperial fluid ounces. Cubic Volume Units UnitA litre is a cubic decimetre, which is the volume of a cube 10 centimetres × 10 centimetres × 10 centimetres (1L ≡ 1dm 3 ≡ 1000cm 3). Hence 1L ≡ 0.001 m 3 ≡ 1000 cm 3; and 1m 3 (i.e. a cubic metre, which is the SI unit for volume) is exactly 1000L. The following tables provide a summary of the Volume units (both Fluid Volume units and Cubic Volume units) within their respective measurement systems. Fluid Volume Units Unit A litre is equal in volume to the millistere, an obsolete non-SI metric unit formerly customarily used for dry measure. Litres are most commonly used for items (such as fluids and solids that can be poured) which are measured by the capacity or size of their container, whereas cubic metres (and derived units) are most commonly used for items measured either by their dimensions or their displacements. The litre is often also used in some calculated measurements, such as density (kg/L), allowing an easy comparison with the density of water.
