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.
Cubic Millimeter
A cubic millimeter (mm^3) is a unit of volume equal to the volume of a cube measuring 1 millimeter on each side.
History/Origin
The cubic millimeter has been used in scientific and engineering contexts for precise measurements of small volumes, especially in fields like biology and materials science, as a subdivision of the cubic centimeter and cubic meter units.
Current Use
It is currently used in scientific research, medical measurements, and engineering to quantify small volumes accurately, particularly in microscopy, microfluidics, and material testing.
