dcterms:description |
The \(litre\) (American spelling: \(\textit{liter}\); SI symbol \(l\) or \(L\)) is a non-SI metric system unit of volume equal to \(1 \textit{cubic decimetre}\) (\(dm^3\)), 1,000 cubic centimetres (\(cm^3\)) or \(1/1000 \textit{cubic metre}\). If the lower case "L" is used as the symbol, it is sometimes rendered as a cursive "l" to help distinguish it from the capital "I", although this usage has no official approval by any international bureau. |
