Liquid volume converters

There are different ways to calculate the volumes of differently-shaped objects - you can check our volume calculators for formulas, references and easy calculation. Assuming you know or have measured the volume in one unit of volume, you might need to convert it to another, which is where our converter can be of assistance.

Volume units part of the International System of Measurements SI are based on the base unit: the meter, hence the name "metric system". Since every unit of length has a corresponding unit of volume the corresponding volume of a cube with the given side length the standard unit of volume in SI is the cubic meter cubic metre in British English. Other units include the cubic kilometer, cubic decimeter, cubic centimeter, cubic millimeter, liter UK: litre , milliliter, and others. Our volume converter supports all of these metrics.

Below is a reference table for these units relative to the cubic meter. Cubic meters, centimeters, etc. In the imperial system the cubic feet and more rarely the cubic yard are used for volumes of objects while liquid gallons, liquid quarts, pints, and fluid ounces are used for liquids and gases.

Imperial units are more of a mess, customary, current and "legal" definitions conflicting with each other. When you need to determine the volume of liquid a container holds, you will need some information about the container. Use either a metric measuring tape or ruler to gather the required information.

To use the calculator, input the following data:. Hit the calculate button and you will get the volume of the container in liters. This information may be printed out, if needed. Should you require the results in Imperial units you will need another calculator to convert from the metric liters to Imperial quarts or fluid ounces.

Do not input data in inches or meters into the calculator, the results will not be accurate. Our calculator uses the standard formula to determine volume of a rectangular object. This formula is:. This is only the volume in cubic centimeters, and does not indicate the amount of liquid. The second step our calculator uses is to divide the volume in cubic centimeters by to find the liquid volume in liters. You do not have to do anything except insert the required data.

Both steps of the process are instantly carried out, and the final answer will be the number you need. You do not have to be a math major or remember complex formulas to use this simple calculator. Anyone can find the liquid volume of a container just with a few numbers and the click of a mouse. Give this calculator a try and explore our other calculator offerings for any math problem you might encounter in daily life.

Let's be honest - sometimes the best liquid volume calculator is the one that is easy to use and doesn't require us to even know what the liquid volume formula is in the first place! But if you want to know the exact formula for calculating liquid volume then please check out the "Formula" box above.
