Conversion cubic decimeters to liters, dm³ to l.

The conversion factor is 1; therefore, 1 cubic decimeter = 1 liter. In other words, to convert a value in dm³ to l, multiply by the value by 1. The conversion factor is 1, i.e., the volume given in dm³ is numerically equal to that expressed in l. The calculator answers the questions such as: How many l is 90 dm³? or How to convert dm³ to l. This is a volume unit conversion from dm³ to l.

Conversion result:

1 dm³ = 1 l

1 cubic decimeter is 1 liter.

Enter volume

dm³

Volume units conversion involves changing the measurement of volume from one unit to another. Volume is a measure of the space occupied by a three-dimensional object, and it is commonly measured in units like cubic meters (m³), cubic centimeters (cm³), liters (L), milliliters (mL), and more. Here is how to convert between these units:

Key Volume Unit Relationships:

1. Cubic Meters (m³):
- $1{\text{m}}^3=1,000,000{\text{cm}}^3$ (since $1\text{m}=100\text{cm}$, and volume scales as ${\text{length}}^3$).

2. Cubic Centimeters (cm³):
- $1{\text{cm}}^3=1\text{mL}$ (milliliter).
- $1{\text{cm}}^3=0.000001{\text{m}}^3$.

3. Liters (L):
- $1\text{L}=1000\text{mL}$.
- $1\text{L}=1000{\text{cm}}^3$.
- $1\text{L}=0.001{\text{m}}^3$.

4. Milliliters (mL):
- $1\text{mL}=1{\text{cm}}^3$.
- $1\text{mL}=0.001\text{L}$.

Steps for Volume Conversion:

1. Identify the starting unit and the target unit.
2. Use the appropriate conversion factor to multiply or divide the original value.
3. Simplify the result.

Examples of Volume Conversions:

#1. Convert $5\text{L}$ to $\text{mL}$:
- $1\text{L}=1000\text{mL}$.
- $5\text{L}=5\times 1000=5000\text{mL}$.

#2. Convert $2{\text{m}}^3$ to ${\text{cm}}^3$:
- $1{\text{m}}^3=1,000,000{\text{cm}}^3$.
- $2{\text{m}}^3=2\times 1,000,000=2,000,000{\text{cm}}^3$.

#3. Convert $3000{\text{cm}}^3$ to $\text{L}$:
- $1\text{L}=1000{\text{cm}}^3$.
- $3000{\text{cm}}^3=\frac{3000}{1000}=3\text{L}$.

#4. Convert $500\text{mL}$ to $\text{L}$:
- $1\text{L}=1000\text{mL}$.
- $500\text{mL}=\frac{500}{1000}=0.5\text{L}$.
