From what I’m reading there this is a measure of mass flow rate of gas, expressed as volume per minute at some standard volume and pressure. Which makes some sense, you need those two parameters to be fixed so you can measure mass by volume.
And then I realized the OP article uses it for a fluid 😂
The major difference is compressibility. Generally, liquids are practically incompressible. So just knowing the mass flow rate and density, volume flow rate can be calculated. It’s not so simple for gases
To totally confuse you: The USA uses the “standard litre” while Europe uses “normal litre”:

Thanks, you succeeded hahaha.

Aren’t fluids and gases kinda the same thing in some aspects, just different mass? (Clearly, not a scientist).
