The cubic meter is the SI derived unit of volume. It is the standard reference for larger capacities and technical volumes.
As the three-dimensional extension of the meter, the cubic meter became the standard scientific and engineering unit of volume.
Measurement system: International System of Units (SI). SI equivalent: Base SI volume unit.
