General information
Volume is the space occupied by a substance or object. Also, the volume can denote the free space inside the container. Volume is a three-dimensional quantity, unlike, for example, length, which is two-dimensional. Therefore, the volume of flat or two-dimensional objects is zero.
Volume units
Cubic meter
The SI unit for volume is the cubic meter. The standard definition of one cubic meter is the volume of a cube with edges one meter long. Derived units such as cubic centimeters are also widely used.
Liter
The liter is one of the most commonly used units in metric system. It is equal to the volume of a cube with edges 10 cm long:
1 liter = 10 cm × 10 cm × 10 cm = 1000 cubic centimeters
It's like 0.001 cubic meters. The mass of one liter of water at 4°C is approximately equal to one kilogram. Often milliliters are also used, equal to one cubic centimeter or 1/1000 of a liter. A milliliter is usually referred to as ml.
Jill
Gills are units of volume used in the United States to measure alcoholic beverages. One gill is five fluid ounces in the British imperial system, or four in the US. One American jill is equal to a quarter pint or half a cup. In Irish pubs, strong drinks are served in portions of a quarter of a jill, or 35.5 milliliters. The Scottish portions are smaller - one-fifth of a jill, or 28.4 milliliters. In England, until recently, servings were even smaller, only one-sixth of a jill or 23.7 milliliters. Now, it's 25 or 35 milliliters, depending on the rules of the institution. The hosts can decide for themselves which of the two servings to serve.
AMD
Dram, or drachma - a measure of volume, mass, as well as a coin. In the past, this measure was used in the pharmacy business and was equal to one teaspoon. Later, the standard volume of a teaspoon changed, and one spoon became equal to 1 and 1/3 drachmas.
Volumes in cooking
Liquids in cooking recipes are usually measured by volume. Bulk and dry products in the metric system, on the contrary, are measured by weight.
Tea spoon
The volume of a teaspoon is different in different measurement systems. Initially, one teaspoon was a quarter of a tablespoon, then one third. It is the latter volume that is now used in the American system of measurement. This is approximately 4.93 milliliters. In American dietetics, the size of a teaspoon is 5 milliliters. In the UK it is common practice to use 5.9 milliliters, but some dietary guides and cookbooks use 5 milliliters. The volume of a teaspoon used in cooking is usually standardized in each country, but different sizes of spoons are used for eating.
Tablespoon
The volume of a tablespoon also varies depending on the geographic region. So, for example, in America, one tablespoon is three teaspoons, half an ounce, about 14.7 milliliters, or 1/16 of an American cup. Tablespoons in UK, Canada, Japan, South Africa and New Zealand - also contain three teaspoons. So, a metric tablespoon is 15 milliliters. A British tablespoon is 17.7 milliliters if a teaspoon is 5.9, and 15 if a teaspoon is 5 milliliters. Australian tablespoon - ⅔ ounce, 4 teaspoons, or 20 milliliters.
Cup
As a measure of volume, a cup is not as strictly defined as spoons. The volume of the cup can vary from 200 to 250 milliliters. A metric cup is 250 milliliters, while an American cup is slightly smaller, about 236.6 milliliters. In American dietetics, the volume of a cup is 240 milliliters. In Japan, cups are even smaller - only 200 milliliters.
Quarts and gallons
Gallons and quarts also have different sizes, depending on the geographic region where they are used. In the imperial system of measurement, one gallon is equal to 4.55 liters, and in the American system of measurements - 3.79 liters. Fuel is generally measured in gallons. A quart is equal to a quarter of a gallon and, respectively, 1.1 liters in the American system, and approximately 1.14 liters in the imperial system.
Pint
Pints are used to measure beer even in countries where pints are not used to measure other liquids. In the UK, pints are used to measure milk and cider. A pint is equal to one eighth of a gallon. Some other countries in the Commonwealth and Europe also use pints, but since they depend on the definition of the gallon, and the gallon has a different volume depending on the country, pints are also not the same everywhere. An imperial pint is approximately 568.2 milliliters, while an American pint is 473.2 milliliters.
Fluid ounce
An imperial ounce is approximately equal to 0.96 US ounce. Thus, an imperial ounce contains approximately 28.4 milliliters, and an American ounce contains 29.6 milliliters. One US ounce is also approximately equal to six teaspoons, two tablespoons, and one eighth cup.
Volume calculation
Liquid displacement method
The volume of an object can be calculated using the liquid displacement method. To do this, it is lowered into a liquid of a known volume, a new volume is geometrically calculated or measured, and the difference between these two values is the volume of the measured object. For example, if, when an object is lowered into a cup with one liter of water, the volume of liquid increases to two liters, then the volume of the object is one liter. In this way, only the volume of objects that do not absorb liquid can be calculated.
Formulas for calculating volume
Volume geometric shapes can be calculated using the following formulas:
Prism: the product of the area of the base of the prism and the height.
Rectangular parallelepiped: product of length, width and height.
Cube: edge length to the third power.
Ellipsoid: product of semiaxes and 4/3π.
Pyramid: one third of the product of the area of the base of the pyramid and the height.
Parallelepiped: product of length, width and height. If the height is unknown, then it can be calculated using the edge and the angle it makes with the base. If we call an edge a, injection BUT, length - l, and the width - w, then the volume of the parallelepiped V equals:
V = l w a cos( A)
This volume can also be calculated using the properties of right triangles.
Cone: radius squared times height and ⅓π.
Ball: radius to the third power multiplied by 4/3π.
Cylinder: the product of the area of the base of the cylinder, the height, and π: V=π r² h, where r is the radius of the cylinder and h is its height
The ratio between the volumes of cylinder:ball:cone is 3:2:1.

The calculator converts volume units. The most commonly used metric units are the liter and the cubic meter. A liter is equal to 1 cubic decimeter, a cubic meter is equal to 1,000 liters. A hectoliter is equal to 100 liters.
The Anglo-American system uses historical units, which in the United States and Great Britain, despite the same name, represent a different volume. In America, moreover, a different system of volume units is still used for liquid and solids(e.g. grain). For example, one pint can represent three different volumes. In the translation table, the individual systems are clearly separated.
