About these measurements
Volume describes three-dimensional space or liquid capacity.
The base reference used here is the liter. One centiliter is 0.01 base units; one kiloliter is 1,000 base units.
Important distinctions
US liquid measures and Imperial measures are different. Dry gallons and recipe cups are excluded.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
