Convert between liters, gallons, milliliters, cups, fluid ounces, cubic meters and more β instantly and accurately.
The metric system uses liters (L) and milliliters (mL) as the primary units of volume. 1 liter = 1000 mL. The system is based on powers of 10, making conversions straightforward. Used globally in science and most countries.
US customary and Imperial (UK) units share names like gallon, pint, and fluid ounce β but they differ in size. A US gallon is 3.785 L while an Imperial gallon is 4.546 L. Always check which system is being used.
Teaspoons (tsp), tablespoons (tbsp), and cups are widely used in cooking. In the US: 1 cup = 16 tbsp = 48 tsp = 236.6 mL. These vary slightly between countries, so always verify for recipes.
Volume can also be expressed as cubic length units. 1 liter = 1 cubic decimeter = 1000 cmΒ³. Cubic feet and cubic inches are common in engineering. 1 ftΒ³ β 28.317 liters.
