kiloliter to deciliter
Convert kiloliter (kL) to deciliter (dL). Use an editable volume converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 kL = 10,000 dL
Conversion formula
One kiloliter equals 10,000 deciliter. Multiply your value in kiloliter by this factor to get deciliter. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 kiloliter:5 × 10,000 = 50,000 dL

About these measurements
Volume describes three-dimensional space or liquid capacity.
The base reference used here is the liter. One kiloliter is 1,000 base units; one deciliter is 0.1 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.
Common questions
How do I convert kL to dL?
Multiply the quantity in kL by 10,000. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the deciliter to kiloliter converter.
