The standard metric unit of volume is the?

Answer 1

The standard unit of volume in the metric system is liter or litre. By using decimal prefixes we can arrive at smaller or larger units of measure. It is no coincidence that there is a relationship between liter as volume, meter as distance and water:

1 liter = 1 cubic decimeter = 1 kilogram of water at 4° C.

Answer 2

Litre would be the standard unit of volume in the sciences, even within the U.S. most scientists would use litres.

ADDED: For fluid volumes, yes. Volumes of solid (including solid-walled, hollow interiors) are normally measured in cubic metres.

Answer 3

Since the unit of length is the meter, the natural unit of volume is the cubic meter.

The basic metric system unit for Volume is m³ (meters cubed).

The unit for volume is based on the SI metric unit for length that is metres cubed or (m) with a small 3 as an index

Answer 4

The basic metric unit of volume is the meter3 (cubic meter), regardless of what kind

of substance it's being applied to.

The cubic meter is a rather large amount of substance, compared to the ability of

a human being to carry it from here to there, so several convenient fractional units

of the meter3 have been defined:

1 liter = 0.001 meter3

1 milliliter (mL) = 0.001 liter

1 microliter = 0.001 milliliter

1 nanoliter = 0.001 microliter

Answer 5

The standard metric unit of volume is the liter (L).

Answer 6

No
