Volumeexact by definition
The cubic decimetre is exactly one litre, 10⁻³ cubic metres. It is not merely equal to the litre, it is the definition of it: the CGPM defines the litre as a special name for the cubic decimetre, which is why the two can never disagree.
Watch out: Between 1901 and 1964 the litre was instead defined as the volume of one kilogram of water at maximum density, which made it about 28 parts per million larger than a cubic decimetre. Very precise measurements published in that period may carry the old litre, and the CGPM formally recommended against using the litre for high-accuracy work because of the confusion.
