❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Our volume converter uses precise conversion factors based on international standards. The calculations are accurate to at least 8 decimal places for most conversions, ensuring reliable results for both everyday and scientific applications.
A US gallon equals 3.78541 liters, while an Imperial gallon (used in the UK) equals 4.54609 liters. This means an Imperial gallon is about 20% larger than a US gallon. Always check which gallon unit is being referenced in your conversion.
1 US cup equals 236.588 mL, while 1 metric cup equals 250 mL. Select "US Cup" from the "From" dropdown and "Milliliter (mL)" from the "To" dropdown, enter your value, and click Convert.
The US fluid ounce (29.5735 mL) and Imperial fluid ounce (28.4131 mL) are slightly different because they come from different measurement systems. The US system is based on the wine gallon, while the Imperial system was based on the ale gallon.
In both US and Imperial systems, there are 3 teaspoons in 1 tablespoon. However, the actual volume differs between systems: 1 US tablespoon = 14.7868 mL, while 1 Imperial tablespoon = 17.7582 mL.
An acre-foot is a unit commonly used in water resource management, especially in the US. It represents the volume of water that would cover 1 acre of land to a depth of 1 foot (about 325,851 gallons or 1,233 cubic meters).
Yes! 1 cubic meter equals exactly 1,000 liters. Simply select "Cubic Meter (m³)" as your "From" unit and "Liter (L)" as your "To" unit, then enter your value.
