The base unit of volume is derived from the meter: it's the ''cubic meter'' [m<sup>3</sup>]. Traditionally, the ''liter''<ref>http://www.bipm.org/en/si/si_brochure/chapter4/table6.html</ref> is used. 1 liter is defined as 10<sup>-3</sup> m<sup>3</sup> = 1 dm<sup>3</sup>. '''Capacity''', traditionally measured in liters, refers to the volume occupied by a liquid.
