What is a cubic meter?
A cubic meter is the SI unit of volume, equal to the space of a cube one meter on each side, or 1,000 liters. The cubic meter is the coherent SI derived unit of volume. It is the standard unit for large volumes in construction, water supply, and gas metering, where it is often shortened to 'cube' in the trades.
Common uses of cubic meters include: Water and natural gas utility billing; Concrete, soil, and bulk material ordering; Shipping container and cargo volume; Room and building air volume (HVAC).
