In the United States since 1893 all units in the above table have been derived from the 

 same standards of length and mass. Therefore all equivalents (except those involving the 

 liter) depend only on numerical definitions. The liter is the volume of one kilogram of 

 pure water at the temperature of its maximum density and under a pressure equivalent to 

 760 millimeters of mercury. The liter was determined by the International Bureau of 

 Weights and Measures in 1910 to equal 1.000027 dm 3 . (National Bureau of Standards.)
