The litre. There can be some ambiguity about the size of the litre. In 1901 it was defined by reference to a kilogram of pure water under certain particular conditions. (This was similar to the way the old UK gallon was set.) In 1964 it was re-defined as a common usage term for a cubic decimetre. They differ very slightly and for really accurate work, to avoid any possible confusion, it is recommended that the litre is not used . It is used here as being a cubic decimetre.
