Remarks

This class behaves just like a Double representing a volume in cubic meters; it is implicitly castable to and from a Double and therefore can be generally used "as" a double, but it has the advantage of handling conversions to and from other volume representations, specifically liters, teaspoons, tablespoons, cubic inches, fluid ounces, cups, pints, quarts, gallons and cubic feet. Metric conversions are handled simply by applying the needed SI conversion factor, for example:

Example

Convert volume, in cubic meters, to cubic kilometers:

Copy

public double GetCubicKilometers(Volume cubicmeters)
{
    return cubicmeters / SI.Kilo;
}

This example converts teaspoons to cups:

Copy

public double GetCups(double teaspoons)
{
    return Volume.FromTeaspoons(teaspoons).ToCups();
}

This example converts liters to fluid ounces:

Copy

public double GetFluidOunces(double liters)
{
    return Volume.FromLiters(liters).ToFluidOunces();
}
