The CONVERT function converts one unit to another. Some allowed conversions specifically include liquid measure conversions such as from liters to cups or tablespoons. But the references are not specified. Traditional liquid measures vary depending on the country.

It is requested to include the reference to the NIST (from where the references have been taken) or its equivalent in ISO and the list of valid measures with its equivalences at the time of reviewing the standard.
