Liters - A Unit of Volume

One liter is equal to 1000 cubic centimeters, 0.001 cubic meters, or 1 cubic decimeter.

How to Convert Liters

To convert liters to other units of volume, you need to multiply or divide by the appropriate conversion factor. Here are some common conversion factors and examples:

• To convert liters to cubic centimeters, multiply by 1000.
  • Example: 2 L x 1000 = 2000 cm3
• To convert liters to cubic meters, multiply by 0.001.
  • Example: 2 L x 0.001 = 0.002 m3
• To convert liters to cubic decimeters, multiply by 1.
  • Example: 2 L x 1 = 2 dm3
• To convert liters to gallons (US liquid), multiply by 0.264.
  • Example: 2 L x 0.264 = 0.528 gal
• To convert liters to bushels (US), multiply by 0.037.
  • Example: 2 L x 0.037 = 0.074 bu
• To convert liters to barrels (oil), multiply by 0.0063.
  • Example: 2 L x 0.0063 = 0.0126 bbl

To convert other units of volume to liters, you need to divide by the appropriate conversion factor. Here are some common conversion factors and examples:

• To convert cubic centimeters to liters, divide by 1000.
  • Example: 2000 cm3 / 1000 = 2 L
• To convert cubic meters to liters, divide by 0.001.
  • Example: 0.002 m3 / 0.001 = 2 L
• To convert cubic decimeters to liters, divide by 1.
  • Example: 2 dm3 / 1 = 2 L
• To convert gallons (US liquid) to liters, divide by 0.264.
  • Example: 0.528 gal / 0.264 = 2 L
• To convert bushels (US) to liters, divide by 0.037.
  • Example: 0.074 bu / 0.037 = 2 L
• To convert barrels (oil) to liters, divide by 0.0063.
  • Example: 0.0126 bbl / 0.0063 = 2 L

Deciliters: A Unit of Volume

How to Convert Deciliters

To convert deciliters to other units of volume, we need to use conversion factors that relate the deciliter to the desired unit. For example, to convert deciliters to ounces, we need to know that one ounce is equal to 0.0296 liters. Therefore, one deciliter is equal to 0.1 liters, or 3.381 ounces.

Here are some common conversion factors for deciliters:

• 1 dL = 0.1 L
• 1 dL = 3.381 US fluid ounces
• 1 dL = 3.52 UK fluid ounces
• 1 dL = 0.035 ft³
• 1 dL = 0.001 yd³
• 1 dL = 0.002 barrels (oil)
• 1 dL = 0.00001 acre-feet

To convert from other units of volume to deciliters, we need to use the inverse of these conversion factors. For example, to convert ounces to deciliters, we need to divide by 3.381.
