Cubic Foot
A cubic foot (ft^3) is a unit of volume representing the space occupied by a cube with sides of one foot in length.
History/Origin
The cubic foot has been used historically in the imperial and US customary measurement systems for measuring volume, especially in construction, real estate, and engineering contexts.
Current Use
Today, the cubic foot is still used in the United States and some other regions for measuring large volumes of liquids, gases, and bulk materials, particularly in industries like construction, shipping, and HVAC.
Gigaliter
A gigaliter (GL) is a unit of volume equal to one billion liters (10^9 liters).
History/Origin
The gigaliter is part of the metric system, introduced as a standard unit for large-scale volume measurements, especially in environmental and industrial contexts, following the adoption of the International System of Units (SI).
Current Use
Gigaliters are used to measure large quantities of liquids, such as water resources, in environmental studies, water management, and large-scale industrial processes.
