About the liter and the cubic foot
The liter
The liter (L) is a metric unit of volume defined as exactly one cubic decimeter (1 dm³). Although not an SI base unit (the SI unit of volume is the cubic meter), it is the most common metric volume unit in everyday life, used for beverages, fuel, and chemistry. One liter of pure water at 4 °C weighs almost exactly one kilogram.
The cubic foot
The cubic foot equals exactly 28.316846592 liters (0.3048 m cubed). It is the standard unit for US refrigerator and freezer capacity, natural-gas billing, and shipping-carton volume specifications.
