📘 About the Volume Converter

This volume converter changes a measurement from one unit of volume or capacity to another. It covers 121 units: metric units like liters and cubic meters, US liquid and dry units, imperial (UK) units, cooking measures from several countries (a US cup is not an Australian cup), industry units such as oil barrels and acre-feet, and traditional units from across the world such as the shō and koku (Japan), sheng and dou (China), doe and mal (Korea), ganta and cavan (Philippines), ardeb (Egypt) and vedro (Russia).

US and imperial gallons, pints and fluid ounces are different sizes, so they are listed separately and labelled. Choose the version that matches your recipe, label or document.

🧮 Formula

Conversion
Result = Value × (From unit ÷ To unit)
Through the cubic meter
1 unit = its size in cubic meters, so Result = Value × cubic meters per From unit ÷ cubic meters per To unit

Where

  • Every unit is defined by its size in cubic meters
  • The result is shown to six significant figures
