Note that a “liter” is equal to a “cubic decimeter (dm³)” but the liter is used for liquid measure while the dm³ is used for air and gas volume measurement.

Note also that a “bar” is used widely in fluid power for pressure measurement, but the standard SI unit for pressure is the pascal (Pa) or the kilopascal (kPa). One kPa is equal to 0.00145 PSI, a unit which is difficult to work with in most fluid power systems.
