- Milliliter [ml]: one thousandth of a liter, i.e., a unit of volume equal to 1 cm3.
- Cubic centimeter [cm3]: a unit of volume equal to the volume of a cube with a side of 1 cm.
- Cubic decimeter (liter) [dm3]: a unit of volume equal to the volume of a cube with a side of 1 dm, i.e., 10 cm.
- Cubic inch [in3]: a unit of volume mainly used in the United States and the United Kingdom. It corresponds to the volume of a cube with a side of 1 inch (2.54 cm).
