Talk:Cubic metre

Decimals
I think that the decimals in the "exactly" parts of


 * 1) ~35.3 cubic feet (there are exactly 0.028 316 846 592 cu ft per m³)
 * 2) ~1.31 cubic yards (there are exactly 0.764 554 857 984 cu yd per m³)
 * 3) ~6.29 oil barrels (there are exactly 0.158 987 294 928 bbl per m³)

exceed common ability to measure and are based on overinterpreting existing specifications. I hope knowledgeable people will change these values to "reasonable" ones; if not I will probably round the numbers to five or six significant digits soon. Pdn 17:12, 26 May 2005 (UTC)


 * But the first two figures are correct, based on the exact definition of 1 international inch = 25.4 millimetres. Whether they are useful or not is another matter. The third figure is correct if you define a barrel in US gallons, but not if you use UK gallons. --Heron 20:42, 26 May 2005 (UTC)


 * The oil barrel is indeed defined in US gallons. Pdn, what I expect from an encyclopaedia are exact values whenever possible --I can always round them to my needs. The opposite is, of course, impossible ("unrounding"). Units of measurement aren't like measurements (the Moon's radius, for example), they are mathematically exact in most cases.

Meter vs. metre
Metre is the wording used by S.I. so it whould be what the articles use and are named, while noting that meter is the common U.S. spelling as well as with redirects. Evolauxia 08:42, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
 * See WP:ENGVAR. If the page were started under cubic meter, it should have stayed there unless there was a broad consensus about establishing a policy w/r/t SI units. — Llywelyn II   03:58, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

Merge discussion
I propose that that Cubic metre per second be merged into this article. Lightmouse (talk) 11:55, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
 * For what it's worth, I oppose. Entirely different unit of entirely different property. — Llywelyn II   03:56, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
