Standard cubic meter
A standard cubic meter (scm) is a measurement of the volume of a gas, such as natural gas or air, under specific, consistent conditions—typically at a standard temperature and pressure. This standardization allows for accurate comparisons and calculations, regardless of actual measurement conditions. Think of it as a "normalized" way to measure gas volume so that the amount remains consistent whether measured on a hot day or a cold one. It's widely used in industries like energy and manufacturing to quantify and manage gas supplies reliably.
