hectoliter to decaliter
Convert hectoliter (hL) to decaliter (daL). Use an editable volume converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 hL = 10 daL
Conversion formula
One hectoliter equals 10 decaliter. Multiply your value in hectoliter by this factor to get decaliter. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 hectoliter:5 × 10 = 50 daL

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.
