Historical Context
Volume units have evolved differently across cultures and applications. The metric system uses liters and cubic meters, while the US and Imperial systems have their own sets of gallons, quarts, and fluid ounces. Cooking measurements often vary by region, with different standards for cups and tablespoons.
Modern Standards
Today, the liter is the standard metric unit for volume, though cubic meters are used for larger volumes. The US and UK maintain different definitions of gallons, quarts, and pints, which can cause confusion in international recipes and technical specifications.
