How to convert liters
There are 3 ways to convert liters
1. By using Online Liters Converter
=
2. By using the Liters calculation formula
Know How to convert Liters to Kiloliters
1 Kiloliter KL = 1000 Liters L
1 Liter L = 1 / 1000 Kiloliter KL
1 Liter L = 0.001 Kiloliter KL
Know How to convert liters to Cubic Meters
1 m = 100 cm ,
1 cubic meter = 1 m X 1 m X 1 m = 100 cm X 100 cm X 100 cm
1 Cubic Meter M3 = 1000 Liters L
1 Liter = 1 /1000 cubic meter
1 Liter = 0.001 cubic meter
Know How to convert liters to Milliliters
1 Liter L = 1000 Milliliters ML
Know How to convert liters to Cubic Inches
1 inches = 2.54 centimeters
1 liter = 10 X 10 X 10 cubic centimeters
1 liter = 10 X 10 X 10 / ( 2.54 X 2.54 X 2.54 ) cubic inches
1 liter = 61.02 cubic inches
Know How to convert liters to Cubic feet
12 inches = 1 foot, 1 inches = 2.54 centimeters
1 liter = 10 X 10 X 10 cubic centimeters
1 liter = 10 X 10 X 10 / ( 2.54 X 2.54 X 2.54 X 12 X 12 X 12 ) cubic feet
1 liter = 0.0353 cubic feet
Know How to convert liters to Gallons
1 liter = 61.023 cubic inches
1 US gallon = 231 cubic inches
1 liter = 61.023 / 231 US gallons
1 liter = 0.264 US gallons
1 Imperial gallon = 277.4 cubic inches
1 liter = 61.023 / 277.4 Imperial Gallons
1 liter = 0.22 Imperial Gallons
Know How to convert liters to US Oil Barrel
1 US oil barrel = 42 US gallons
1 liter = 0.2642 US gallons
1 liter = 0.2642 / 42 US oil barrels
1 liter = 0.0063 US Oil barrels
3. By using a table
