Volume

Volume is a three dimensional measurement of the amount of space taken up by an object.  Volume units are cubic measurements for solid objects such as cubic inches and cubic meters.  Fluids have separate volume units such as liters, fluid ounces, cups, gallons, and barrel. 

The volume of an object can measured by the liquid it displaces or be calculated by measuring its dimensions and applying those dimensions to a formula describing its shape.  Many such calculations are available in the following list of calculators. 

In many cases, the calculators are for a column with a geometric shaped base and vertical sides.  One basic formula for volume is area times a Height when the volume has vertical sides.

Volume Units

Volume is a three dimensional quantity. Different units exist to provide convenience in measuring in different domains.  For example, an acre⋅foot is the volume of water measured by an area of one acre at one foot of depth.  It is commonly used to measure volume in ponds, lakes and reservoirs.  The unit pinch is 1/16th of a teaspoon and used in cooking.
