Understanding Volume Units
Metric System
Based on the liter (L) and milliliter (ml). Easy conversions with factors of 10, 100, 1000. Widely used in science and most countries worldwide.
- 1 liter = 1000 milliliters
- 1 cubic meter = 1000 liters
- 1 milliliter = 1 cubic centimeter
US Imperial System
Used primarily in the United States. Based on gallons, quarts, pints, cups, and fluid ounces. Common in cooking and everyday measurements.
- 1 US gallon = 4 quarts = 8 pints = 16 cups
- 1 cup = 8 fluid ounces
- 1 fluid ounce = 2 tablespoons = 6 teaspoons
