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.
Ton Register
A ton register (ton reg) is a unit of volume used primarily in shipping and cargo measurement, equivalent to 100 cubic feet or approximately 2.83 cubic meters.
History/Origin
The ton register originated in maritime and shipping industries as a measure of a ship's internal volume for regulatory and taxation purposes, evolving from older measurement systems to standardize cargo capacity assessments.
Current Use
Today, the ton register is used mainly in shipping and maritime industries to determine a vessel's cargo capacity, port fees, and regulatory compliance, although it has largely been replaced by other volume measurement units in general use.
