Stere
The stere (st) is a unit of volume used to measure large quantities of natural gas or other gases, equivalent to one thousand cubic meters (1,000 m³).
History/Origin
The stere originated in France in the 19th century as a practical unit for measuring natural gas volumes, particularly in the gas industry, and has been adopted in various countries for industrial and commercial purposes.
Current Use
Today, the stere is primarily used in the natural gas industry to quantify large volumes of gas, especially in regions where the metric system is standard, facilitating trade and regulation.
Petaliter
A petaliter (PL) is a unit of volume measurement equal to one quadrillion liters, used primarily in scientific contexts for expressing extremely large volumes.
History/Origin
The petaliter was introduced as part of the extended metric system to facilitate measurements in fields such as astronomy and large-scale environmental studies, gaining recognition in the early 21st century.
Current Use
Currently, the petaliter is used mainly in scientific research, particularly in astrophysics and climate science, to quantify vast volumes such as cosmic gas clouds or global water reserves.
