About Volume Conversion
Volume conversion is used daily in cooking, chemistry, fuel measurement, and liquid handling. The liter is the most common metric unit for liquid volume, while the gallon is the standard in the United States. Notably, the US gallon (3.785 L) differs from the UK/Imperial gallon (4.546 L), which frequently causes confusion.
Cooking measurements like cups, tablespoons, and teaspoons are essential in the kitchen but vary between countries. Our converter uses US customary measurements as the standard for these cooking units. One US cup equals 236.588 mL, and there are 16 tablespoons in a cup.
For scientific and industrial applications, cubic meters and cubic centimeters are the standard metric volume units. One liter equals exactly 1,000 cubic centimeters (or one cubic decimeter), making conversions between these units straightforward.
