In the metric system the unit for volume is the cubic metre (m3). There is also the liter (L) which is equal to a 10 cm cube; (10 cm)3 =1000 cm3 = 0.001 m3. The type of volume measured makes no difference.
micro-liter.
generally measured by using a micro-pipet.
used mostly in medical applications or in chemistry.
You could use milliliters, deciliters, etc.
Litres, milli-L, micro-L, nano-L, pico-L
(this is homologous to Meter, milli-metre, micro-metre, etc. for small distances))

The main function of a pipette is to deliver small measured volumes of liquids. Pipettes are commonly used in laboratory procedures like titration.
A pipette for volumes such as 50mL, 20mL, 10mL, 5mL, 2mL and 1mL. A micropipette for smaller volumes between 1mL and 1uL. (uL = microlitre = 1/1000000th of a litre)
A graduated cylinder is used to measure the volume of liquid in a laboratory.
ml or milliliters
A lab beaker.
To transfer small volumes of liquid.
Small volumes of liquid, such as raindrops, tears, small medicinal doses.
It is used to deliver small volumes of liquid at a low pressure.
The liter(L) is the standard unit for most volumes. It really depends on what you're measuring though. If you are just determining the volume of a small chunk of wood or something along those lines, then the milliliter(mL) would be better.
The Unit for volume is the same. Volume is usually measured in Litres. For larger volumes cubic metres can be used: 1 m³ = 1000 Litres.
The Si unit for liquid volume is liters. (Spelt Litres, where SI units come from)Another AnswerSI does not distinguish between liquid and sold volumes. Consequently, the SI unit for volume is the cubic metre. The litre is a metric unit, but it is NOT an SI unit.
It isn't. A cm is a centimetre, a unit of length. Imagine, however, a cube exactly one cm long on each edge. This cube measures one cubic centimeter, or cm3 The unit of small volumes, therefore is the cm3 (If you were curious, larger volumes are measured in litres, and very large volumes, hectolitres)

It's a great unit if you're measuring small volumes or capacities. It wouldn't be good at all for measuring speed or time.
You could use measuring spoons .
