Converting units of volume
The calculator converts standard units of volume to a precision of up to two decimal points:
- millimeters cubed (mm3),
- centimeters cubed(cm3) / milliliters (ml),
- centiliters (cl),
- deciliters (dl),
- decimeters cubed (dm3) / liters (l),
- hectoliters (he)
- meters cubed (m3)
Conversion therefore work from for example decimeters cubed (or liters) to millimeters cubed, centiliters to hectoliters or meters cubed to deciliters.
Imperial units of volume (bushels, gallons, ...)
Converting of units of volume
You need to input these three values into the calculator:
-
Volume that you want to convert
-
The unit from which you want to convert
-
The unit to which you want to convert
note. 1cm
3 = 1ml a 1dm
3 = 1l
