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.
About Kiloliters
A kiloliter (kL) = 1,000 L = 1 m³. Preferred in water management over 'cubic metre'. Municipal water bills in Australia and South Africa are issued in kL; pool and tank volumes are described in kL. A standard bathtub ≈0.3 kL; Olympic swimming pool 2,500 kL; annual household water use 50-150 kL/person. 1 kL = 1,000 L = 1 m³.
