What is Liter (L)?

The French-invented metric system uses the liter to measure volume. The international term “liter” comes from the French word litron and means one cubic decimeter, or 1 dm3.

A liter, or L, is a volume unit that can be used with the Global System of Units (SI), but it is not actually a SI unit. You can measure one liter in decimeters, centimeters, or meters. One liter is equal to 1,000 centimeters.

AspectDetails
DefinitionA unit of volume used for measuring liquids and solids.
Metric System1 liter = 1,000 cubic centimeters (cm³)
Conversion - 1 liter = 1.057 quarts (US)
- 1 liter = 0.264 gallons (US)
- 1 liter = 0.879 gallons (UK)
UsageCommonly used globally for liquids and various measurements.
Historical NoteThe liter is part of the metric system, introduced in France in the late 18th century.
OriginThe liter was introduced in France in 1795 as part of the metric system. It was based on the cubic decimeter, and its adoption aimed to simplify measurement standards across Europe.

Most countries measure volume in liters (l), the SI unit of measurement. A liter is related to other volume units as follows:

1 Liter = 0.001 m3 or 1000 Liters.
Liter = dm3.
0.0353 ft3 = 1 liter
61.023 cubic inches = 1 liter

Gallon to Liter Conversion

Just multiply the given gallon (US) value by 3.785 to get the liter amount.

  • Around 3.785 L is equal to 1 gallon (US).
  • 264 mL is equal to 1 liter.

For example, what is 3 gal in liters if 1 gal (US) is equal to 3.785 L?

We’ll multiply the gallon amount by 3.785 to get that number.

3×3.785 =11.355 L

Examples

Example 1: Convert 6 gallons to liters.
We know that 1 gallon equals 3.785 liters. So,

  • 6 gallons = 6 × 3.785 L
  • 6 gallons = 22.71 liters

So, 6 gallons = 22.71 liters.

Example 2: Convert 10 gallons to liters.

  • 10 gallons = 10 × 3.785 L
  • 10 gallons = 37.85 liters

Hence, 10 gallons equals 37.85 liters.

Example 3: Convert 3 gallons to liters.

  • 3 gallons = 3 × 3.785 L
  • 3 gallons = 11.355 liters

So, 3 gallons = 11.355 liters.

Example 4: Convert 15 gallons to liters.

  • 15 gallons = 15 × 3.785 L
  • 15 gallons = 56.775 liters

15 gallons = 56.775 liters.

Example 5: Convert 18 gallons to liters.

  • 18 gallons = 18 × 3.785 L
  • 18 gallons = 68.13 liters

18 gallons = 68.13 liters.
