Not sure it maters but when I enter 1l internally it convert to 0.001.

Accepted seems to be the liter

So I'm just wondering if it is normal or a bug

Mmm... I think it's because mathjs reduces units to the most basic ones. Therefore a volume is in m^3 and not L. It's important for the library for handling calculations. Maybe we should not call it SI...

Yes I think SI is ambiguous because m^3 and L are both SI

It should be called base unit (BU?)

It make sense indeed that it is in m^3. For me it may stay SI.
