:Ns104:Volume takes numerical values and units for denoting volume.

To allow users to enter values in different units of measurement, this page specifies several custom unit for this datatype:

  • 1 m3, m3Property "Corresponds to" is a declarative property and can only be used on a property or category page.
  • 1000 lProperty "Corresponds to" is a declarative property and can only be used on a property or category page.
  • 1000000 cm3, cm3Property "Corresponds to" is a declarative property and can only be used on a property or category page.


Editors can add more units and alternative representations. To allow users to enter units in several forms, you add alternate representations separated by commas; for example this datatype supports "squared" using <sup>2</sup> or a Unicode character.

The main unit is the first unit with 1:1 correspondence; for this datatype it is m². In the factbox and inline queries, values display converted into this unit first (unless a property specifies different display units).
