Worth knowing about the 4 volume specifications

  • There are 4 common volume specifications in households: the liter (L), the deciliter (dl), the centiliter (cl) and the milliliter (ml).
  • The names suggest more. So "Dezi" always stands for 10, dl here means a tenth of a liter. "Zenti" means 100, so cl is 1/100 liter, and "Milli" stands for 1000, ml for 1/1000 liter.
  • One liter has the volume of a cube with an edge length of 10 cm, whereas a milliliter has an edge length of only 1 cm.
  • The liter was introduced in France in 1793 and equated to one cubic decimeter. After the first phase of the French Revolution, it became a "republican unit of measurement". Before that, the most varied of dimensions were used very differently from region to region.
