    ● When using “dual units,” inches are normally converted to millimeters (rather than centimeters).
    ■ Not used often in metric countries, but is offered as a conceptual equivalent of customary western U.S. practice (a standard depth of water
    over a given area of land).
    ◆ ASTM Manual E380 discourages the use of billion cubic meters since that magnitude is represented by giga (a thousand million) in other
    countries. It is shown here for potential use for quantifying large reservoir volumes (similar to million acre-feet).
