There IS, the cubic meter, m^3. The basic SI units in the "MKS" system are the <b>meter</b>, the <b>kilogram</b>, and the <b>second</b>. Derived units such as those for volume, velocity, force, energy, etc, are "SI" as long as they are based on the basic SI units.
<b>Example</b>: The energy unit "joule" is equivalent to,
newton*meters. One Nm = 1kg•m^2/s^2, a derived unit based on the MKS system. The calorie is also an energy unit but it is not based on MKS.
