Dekaliter
A dekaliter (daL) is a unit of volume equal to 10 liters.
History/Origin
The dekaliter is part of the metric system, introduced as a decimal multiple of the liter to facilitate larger volume measurements, especially in scientific and industrial contexts.
Current Use
Dekaliter is used in contexts requiring measurement of larger liquid volumes, such as in agriculture, food industry, and scientific research, though it is less common than liters.
Decistere
Decistere (ds) is a unit of volume measurement equal to one-tenth of a litre, used primarily in some European countries for measuring liquids.
History/Origin
The decistere originated in the metric system as a subunit of the litre, introduced to facilitate smaller volume measurements. Its usage has declined with the standardization of the litre and millilitre units.
Current Use
Today, the decistere is rarely used in everyday measurements but may still appear in historical contexts or specific regional applications within certain European countries.
