Strictly speaking it is m3 . However liters are often used though again more strictly 1 liter is euquivalent to 1 dm3 so a decimeter cubed for practical laboratory type volumes but for calculations involving potential energy from hydro-electric sources etc, the cubic meter is correct
The SI unit for liquid volume is the cubic meter (m^3). However, for practical purposes, the liter (L) is often used as a more convenient unit for measuring liquid volumes.
The Si unit for liquid volume is liters. (Spelt Litres, where SI units come from)Another AnswerSI does not distinguish between liquid and sold volumes. Consequently, the SI unit for volume is the cubic metre. The litre is a metric unit, but it is NOT an SI unit.
Density unit is mass / volume. SI unit for dendity is kg/m3.
Liters are the metric unit for liquid volume or more strictly dm3. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The litre (symbol L or l, the first is preferred) is not a true SI-unit; it is only an "accepted" unit of volume. 1 cubic metre (symbol m3, the SI unit) has 1 000 litres.
SI unit do scientists use to measure a liquid is cubic meter ,that is,m^3.SI derived unit, the cubic metre. The volume of a container is generally understood to be the capacity of the container
The SI unit for volume is the Litre, which is a derived unit based on one one-thousandth of a cubic metre.
