Current Use
Currently, the petaliter is used mainly in scientific research, particularly in astrophysics and climate science, to quantify vast volumes such as cosmic gas clouds or global water reserves.
Dekastere
A dekastere (das) is a unit of volume equal to ten liters, primarily used in certain European measurement systems.
History/Origin
The dekastere originated in traditional European measurement systems and was used historically for measuring larger quantities of liquids, especially in trade and agriculture. Its usage has declined with the adoption of the metric system.
