Hundred-Cubic Foot
A hundred-cubic foot is a unit of volume equal to 100 cubic feet, commonly used in measuring large quantities of gases or liquids.
History/Origin
The hundred-cubic foot has historically been used in industries such as natural gas and HVAC to quantify large volumes, especially in the United States, as a convenient measure for gas quantities.
Current Use
Today, the hundred-cubic foot is primarily used in the natural gas industry to measure gas volumes, though it is less common with the adoption of standard SI units like cubic meters.
Exaliter
An exaliter (EL) is a unit of volume equal to 10^18 liters, used to measure extremely large quantities of liquid.
History/Origin
The exaliter was introduced as part of the metric system's extended prefixes to facilitate measurement of vast volumes, though it is rarely used in practical applications due to its enormous size.
Current Use
The exaliter is primarily used in scientific contexts, such as astrophysics and large-scale environmental studies, where measuring extremely large volumes is necessary.
