About Cubic Meters
A cubic meter (m³) is the SI derived unit of volume - the volume of a cube with sides of one meter - equal to 1,000 liters. It is the standard international unit for large fluid volumes, solid materials, and gas quantities. Concrete production and placement is measured in cubic meters; river discharge is reported in cubic meters per second (m³/s, or 'cumecs'); shipping container capacity is quoted in cubic meters; and natural gas is traded in standard cubic meters. An Olympic swimming pool holds 2,500 m³. One cubic meter of water has a mass of exactly 1,000 kg (one metric tonne).
About Pecks
A peck (pk) is a dry volume unit in the US customary system equal to 2 dry gallons or 8 dry quarts - approximately 8.810 liters. It was historically used to measure grain, produce, and bulk goods at market - a 'peck of potatoes' or 'peck of apples' was a standard quantity. The nursery rhyme 'Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers' has made the peck culturally familiar even though it is rarely used in modern commerce. Four pecks equal one US bushel. In agriculture, pecks still appear in older US crop yield tables, traditional market records, and historical American cookbooks.
