A unit of volume is a unit of measurement for measuring volume or capacity, the extent of an object or space in three dimensions. Units of capacity may be used to specify the volume of fluids or bulk goods (e. g. grain, flour, coal, etc.)

Units

According to the SI system, the base unit for measuring volume is the metre and volumes are thus measured in cubic metres, where:

1 m³ = 1 m • 1 m • 1 m.
