The term ‘volume’ generally refers to a measurement of the three-dimensional space that is enclosed by a closed surface. It is used to specify the amount of space that a substance such as a solid, liquid or gas occupies.

As per the International System of Units (SI), the standard unit of volume is the cubic metre (m3). The cubic metre measurement indicates the volume contained within a cube whose sides are all 1 m long.

To be able to calculate the volume of simple shapes (e.g. regular, straight-edged, circular), arithmetic formulae can be used, such as:

Volume = length x width x height

Whereas, more complex shapes require integral calculus if there is a formula for the shape’s boundary.

While related, capacity is not the same as volume. A containing shape’s capacity is always the volume in its interior.

The term ‘volume’ is also used in relation to sound level, i.e. how loud or quiet a sound is. The higher the intensity of a sound, the louder it is perceived by the ear, and the higher its volume. Decibels (dB) are most commonly used as a measure of volume. The decibel scale gives an approximation of human perception of relative loudness. This is because the human ear has a logarithmic response to changes in sound level.
