Stere
The stere (st) is a unit of volume used to measure large quantities of natural gas or other gases, equivalent to one thousand cubic meters (1,000 m³).
History/Origin
The stere originated in France in the 19th century as a practical unit for measuring natural gas volumes, particularly in the gas industry, and has been adopted in various countries for industrial and commercial purposes.
Current Use
Today, the stere is primarily used in the natural gas industry to quantify large volumes of gas, especially in regions where the metric system is standard, facilitating trade and regulation.
Cubic Meter
A cubic meter (m^3) is the SI unit of volume, representing the volume of a cube with edges one meter long.
History/Origin
The cubic meter was established as part of the International System of Units (SI) in 1960, based on the meter defined by the wavelength of light in vacuum.
Current Use
The cubic meter is widely used in science, engineering, and industry to measure large volumes of liquids, gases, and solids, especially in contexts like construction, manufacturing, and environmental science.
