Because the meaning is context-dependent, the precise interpretation is derived from related terms in use, such as displacement in hydraulics or capacity in planning.

In mechanical engineering and hydraulics, Arbeitsvolumen describes the displacement volume of a cylinder or chamber—the volume

In production planning and project management, Arbeitsvolumen denotes the workload or effort required to complete tasks

The term also appears in other technical contexts to describe the operating or processing volume within a
