Cubic meters
The cubic metre is the SI derived unit of volume, defined as the volume of a cube with sides of exactly one metre. It is the standard unit for large-scale volumes in engineering, construction, and industry: concrete orders, excavation volumes, and water storage capacity are measured in cubic metres. One cubic metre equals exactly 1,000 litres. In natural gas supply and environmental science, gas flow rates are expressed in cubic metres per hour or per day.
US barrels
