Density - kg/l vs kg/dm3

[blahetal]

Hello
Just wanted to ask why density in kg/l is preffered over kg/dm3? Is it possible to define an alias kg/dm3 so that is recognised by UnitsNet as kg/l and thus processed the samy way (parsing, converting, etc)?
It is defined here.

Regards

I don't know why- but there does seem to be a bias against the decimeter (I remember it used to be one of my favorite units back in primary school).

If you're only interested in the abbreviation, you could map it using the

• UnitAbbreviationsCache.MapUnitToAbbreviation: this should work if you only want to be parsing units such as "kg/dm3"
• UnitAbbreviationsCache.MapUnitToDefaultAbbreviation: this would make it also be the default ToString abbreviation for the given unit

If you really need to have KillogramPerCubicDecimeter as a separate enum value, you'd have to go the PR route: we've already covered the cubic meter, centimeter, millimeter, foot, inch and yard - what's another decimeter.. 😄

thanks, I will try MapUnitToAbbreviation
