Quick Answer & Understanding Your Result

Source: NIST - Special Publication 811: Guide for the Use of the International System of Units

A Volume Converter translates liquid and solid capacity measurements between Metric (Liters, Milliliters, Cubic Meters) and US / Imperial (Gallons, Fluid Ounces, Cups, Pints, Quarts, Tablespoons, Teaspoons) conforming to NIST standards.

Core Liquid Volume Equivalents

  • 1 US Liquid Gallon (gal): Exactly 3.785411784 liters (L) = 128 US fl oz.
  • 1 Imperial Gallon (UK): Exactly 4.54609 liters (L) = 160 Imperial fl oz.
  • 1 US Fluid Ounce (fl oz): Approximately 29.5735 milliliters (mL).
  • 1 US Standard Cup: 8 US fl oz approx 236.588 mL (Metric Cup is standardized at 250 mL).
  • 1 Cubic Meter ( m^3): Exactly 1,000 liters approx 264.172 US gallons.

Key Conversion Equations

  • Liters to US Gallons: Gallons = Liters / 3.785411784.
  • Gallons to Liters: Liters = Gallons × 3.785411784.
  • Fluid Ounces to Milliliters: mL = fl oz × 29.5735.

Enter your volume value above to calculate instant capacity conversions across all units.
