Convert volume units: liters, gallons, pints, and cubic meters
The volume converter converts between metric volume units (milliliter, liter, cubic centimeter, cubic meter, microliter, nanoliter) and US volume units (gallon, quart, pint, fluid ounce, cubic foot) as well as the UK gallon. It's used equally in cooking, chemistry, and tank volume calculations.
Key conversion factors:
- 1 liter (l) = 1,000 milliliters (ml) – standard unit for liquids
- 1 cubic meter (m³) = 1,000 liters – common for large volumes like pools or tanks
- 1 cubic foot (ft³) ≈ 28.32 liters – common in US/UK construction
- 1 US gallon (gal (US)) = 3.785 liters – standard fuel measure in the US
- 1 UK gallon (gal (UK)) = 4.546 liters – British gallon, larger than the US version
- 1 US quart (qt (US)) = 0.946 liters – a quarter of a US gallon
- 1 US pint (pt (US)) = 0.473 liters – an eighth of a US gallon
- 1 US fluid ounce (fl oz (US)) = 29.57 milliliters – for small liquid amounts
Applications:
- Cooking: converting US recipe units (pint, quart, fluid ounce) to milliliters
- Fuel consumption: comparing tank volumes between gallons and liters
- Chemistry & lab: exact volume dosing of solutions in micro- and nanoliters
- Construction: calculating concrete and excavation volumes in cubic meters and cubic feet
Whether for international recipes, fuel cost comparisons, or precise lab volumes – the volume converter delivers exact results in every case. For concentrations rather than pure volumes, use the mass concentration converter or molar concentration converter.
