Additionally, the mass–volume relationship of water (as with any fluid) depends on temperature, pressure, purity and isotopic uniformity. In 1964, the definition relating the litre to mass was superseded by the current one. Although the litre is not an SI unit, it is accepted by the <a href="/wiki/General_Conference_on_Weights_and_Measures" title="General Conference on Weights and Measures">CGPM</a> (the standards body that defines the SI) for use with the SI. CGPM defines the litre and its acceptable symbols. </p><p>A litre is equal in volume to the <a href="/wiki/Stere" title="Stere">millistere</a>, an obsolete non-SI <a href="/wiki/Metric_system" title="Metric system">metric</a> unit formerly customarily used for <a href="/wiki/Dry_measure" title="Dry measure">dry measure</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Explanation">Explanation</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Litre&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Explanation"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Litres are most commonly used for items (such as <a href="/wiki/Fluid" title="Fluid">fluids</a> and solids that can be poured) which are measured by the capacity or size of their container, whereas cubic metres (and derived units) are most commonly used for items measured either by their dimensions or their displacements. The litre is often also used in some calculated measurements, such as density (kg/L), allowing an easy comparison with the density of water. </p><p>One litre of water has a <a href="/wiki/Mass" title="Mass">mass</a> of almost exactly one <a href="/wiki/Kilogram" title="Kilogram">kilogram</a> when measured at its maximal density, which occurs at about 4 °C. It follows, therefore, that 1000th of a litre, known as one millilitre (1 mL), of water has a mass of about 1 g; 1000 litres of water has a mass of about 1000 kg (1 <a href="/wiki/Tonne" title="Tonne">tonne</a> or megagram). This relationship holds because the gram was originally defined as the mass of 1 mL of water; however, this definition was abandoned in 1799 because the density of water changes with temperature and, very slightly, with pressure. </p><p>It is now known that the density of water also depends on the isotopic ratios of the oxygen and hydrogen atoms in a particular sample.
