Cubic Millimeter
A cubic millimeter (mm^3) is a unit of volume equal to the volume of a cube measuring 1 millimeter on each side.
History/Origin
The cubic millimeter has been used in scientific and engineering contexts for precise measurements of small volumes, especially in fields like biology and materials science, as a subdivision of the cubic centimeter and cubic meter units.
Current Use
It is currently used in scientific research, medical measurements, and engineering to quantify small volumes accurately, particularly in microscopy, microfluidics, and material testing.
Barrel (Oil)
A barrel (bbl) is a unit of volume primarily used to measure quantities of oil and petroleum products, equivalent to 42 US gallons or approximately 159 liters.
History/Origin
The barrel originated as a measure for liquid goods in the 19th century, initially used in the brewing and distilling industries. Its use for oil measurement became standardized in the early 20th century, with the 42-gallon size becoming the industry standard in the United States.
Current Use
The barrel remains the standard unit of measurement for crude oil and petroleum products globally, used in trading, production, and inventory management within the oil industry.
