Volume conversion refers to converting a value from one unit of volume to another. This is commonly needed when working with liquids, gases, or other substances that occupy space. The most common volume units are liters, milliliters, gallons, cubic meters, and cubic feet.
Common Volume Units and Their Conversion:
Cubic Meters (m³) - The SI unit for volume.
Liters (L) - 1 liter = 1 cubic decimeter (dm³).
Milliliters (mL) - 1 liter = 1,000 milliliters.
Cubic Centimeters (cm³) - 1 cm³ = 1 milliliter (mL).
Cubic Inches (in³) - 1 cubic inch = 0.016387064 liters.
Cubic Feet (ft³) - 1 cubic foot = 28.3168 liters.
Gallons (gal) - Common in both US and UK measurement systems.
US Gallon (US gal) = 3.78541 liters.
UK Gallon (Imperial gal) = 4.54609 liters.
Quarts (qt) - 1 US quart = 0.946353 liters. 1 UK quart = 1.13652 liters.
Pints (pt) - 1 US pint = 0.473176 liters. 1 UK pint = 0.568261 liters.
Fluid Ounces (fl oz) - 1 US fluid ounce = 0.0295735 liters.
