Only if it applies to fluid volume. If it applies to volume of a solid, then it is traditional to use cubic centimeters, or even m^3. The latter is a heck of a big volume, and sounds almost silly, but it is increasingly used. For example, in the latest Ferroxcube ferrite core catalogue, specific

Yep, cubic meters, of course. Don't forget to separate the value from the unit: 15 m3. Folks often omit the space between the 5 and the m. ANSI will punish! Chuck Mullett richwo...@tycoint.com wrote: Nevermind. I found the answer to be cubic meters. -Original Message- From:
