Maybe a weird aside, but what does this mean?
Are there "liters" other than the 10cm x 10cm x 10cm definition?
To totally confuse you: The USA uses the "standard litre" while Europe uses "normal litre":

Thanks, you succeeded hahaha.
From what I'm reading there this is a measure of mass flow rate of gas, expressed as volume per minute at some standard volume and pressure. Which makes some sense, you need those two parameters to be fixed so you can measure mass by volume.
And then I realized the OP article uses it for a fluid 😂
