Hectoliter
A hectoliter (hL) is a unit of volume equal to 100 liters.
History/Origin
The hectoliter is part of the metric system, introduced in the 19th century alongside other metric units for standardization of measurements worldwide.
Current Use
Hectoliters are commonly used in the beverage industry, especially for measuring wine, beer, and other liquid quantities, as well as in agriculture and food production for larger volume measurements.
Femtoliter
A femtoliter (fL) is a unit of volume equal to 10^-15 liters, used to measure extremely small quantities.
History/Origin
The femtoliter was introduced as part of the SI prefixes for metric units, specifically to quantify very small volumes in scientific research, particularly in biology and chemistry.
Current Use
Femtoliters are commonly used in fields such as cell biology, microfluidics, and nanotechnology to measure tiny volumes like individual cells, droplets, or nanoliter-scale samples.
