A megaliter (ML) is a metric unit of volume equal to one million liters (106 L).
It's a huge measurement used for tracking large quantities of liquids, especially water.
Key Takeaways:
To understand the sheer size of a megaliter, it helps to picture an Olympic-sized swimming pool.
A standard Olympic pool (50m long, 25m wide, 2m deep) holds about 2.5 megaliters of water.
This means one megaliter would fill about 40% of such a pool. This comparison makes it easier to grasp the accurate scale of this massive unit.
Because it's so large, the megaliter isn't used for everyday measurements.
Instead, it's essential in large-scale industrial and environmental contexts, especially in water resource management.
Professionals use megaliters to:
In science and engineering, you often need to convert between units. Luckily, the relationship between a megaliter and a cubic meter (m3) is straightforward.
Here's the simple math behind the ML to m3 conversion:
1 ML = 1,000,000 L ÷ 1,000 L/m3 = 1,000 m3
A Kanna is a traditional unit of volume from Sweden, equal to 2.617 liters.
The word itself means "can," "pot," or "jug" in Swedish, directly reflecting its use as a container for measuring.
The correct plural form is Kannor, a term you'll find in historical records and recipes.
The Kanna has deep roots in Swedish history, serving as a standard unit of measurement long before the country adopted the metric system in 1889.
This measurement was a part of everyday life, used in homes and markets all across Sweden to measure everything from milk and spirits to dry goods.
The Kanna was part of a larger system of units, where a stop was half a Kanna, and a tunna (or barrel) was made up of 48 Kannor.
To help you visualize this volume, one Kanna is approximately the size of a large 2-liter soda bottle.
