To reverse a conversion, swap the From Unit and To Unit selections and enter the value you want to convert back.<\/p>\n<h2>What volume conversion means<\/h2>\n<p>Volume is the amount of three-dimensional space something occupies. A liter of water and 1,000 milliliters of water have the same volume; the numbers differ only because the units are different sizes. Converting units helps you compare measurements, follow a recipe, report a container\u2019s capacity, or use a measurement in a calculation that expects a particular unit.<\/p>\n<p>This converter includes liters, milliliters, cubic meters, cubic centimeters, cubic inches, cubic feet, and several US customary liquid measures. Cubic units describe volume using a length unit in three dimensions: a cubic centimeter is the space inside a cube measuring one centimeter on each side. In metric units, 1 cm\u00b3 equals 1 mL, while 1 m\u00b3 equals 1,000 L.<\/p>\n<p>The result is a volume, not a weight or a flow rate. Two liquids can occupy the same volume but have different masses. If you need a mass estimate for a given volume, density is also required; the <a href=\"https:\/\/wpcalc.com\/en\/converters\/volume-to-weight\/\">volumetric weight calculator<\/a> addresses a different, shipping-related use of volume. Likewise, <a href=\"https:\/\/wpcalc.com\/en\/converters\/cubic-feet-per-minute\/\">cubic feet per minute<\/a> measures volume flowing over time, rather than volume alone.<\/p>\n<h2>Reference conversions<\/h2>\n<p>The following values show how much one liter represents in selected units. They also illustrate why the same physical volume can have a much larger or smaller numerical value after conversion.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Unit<\/th>\n<th>Equivalent to 1 L<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Milliliter (mL)<\/td>\n<td>1,000 mL<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Cubic centimeter (cm\u00b3)<\/td>\n<td>1,000 cm\u00b3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Cubic meter (m\u00b3)<\/td>\n<td>0.001 m\u00b3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Cubic inch (in\u00b3)<\/td>\n<td>Approximately 61.0237 in\u00b3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Cubic foot (ft\u00b3)<\/td>\n<td>Approximately 0.0353147 ft\u00b3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>US gallon<\/td>\n<td>Approximately 0.264172 US gal<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>US fluid ounce<\/td>\n<td>Approximately 33.814 US fl oz<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>For more ready-made comparisons, see the <a href=\"https:\/\/wpcalc.com\/en\/converters\/volume-table\/\">volume conversion table<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Assumptions and practical tips<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Check the type of gallon or fluid ounce.<\/strong> The gallon, quart, pint, fluid ounce, tablespoon, and teaspoon selections here are US units. They should not be treated as Imperial measures, which can have different sizes. If a source says only \u201cgallon\u201d or \u201cfluid ounce,\u201d identify the measurement system before converting.<\/p>\n<p>The calculator uses fixed conversion factors and rounds the displayed answer to six decimal places. Several factors are stored as approximations, so avoid interpreting the last displayed digits as measurement-grade precision. A very small nonzero answer may display as zero after rounding; converting first to a smaller unit, such as milliliters instead of liters, can make it easier to read.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, enter the volume as stated rather than adjusting it for the material inside a container. The converter changes units only: it does not account for temperature-related expansion, container fill level, or a substance\u2019s density. For cooking, check whether a tablespoon or teaspoon is being used as a standardized volume measure or as an approximate household spoon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Convert a volume between liters, milliliters, cubic units, and US customary units.
