The table of metric volume:
1 kiloliter (kL) = 1000.000 liters
1 hectoliter (hL) = 100.000 liters
1 dekaliter (daL) = 10.000 liters
1 liter (L) = 1.000 liter
1 deciliter (dL) = 0.100 liter
1 centiliter (cL) = 0.010 liter
1 milliliter (mL) = 0.001 liter
1 microliter (µL) = 0.000,001 liter
This table may also be written:
1 liter
= 0.001 kiloliter
= 0.010 hectoliter
= 0.100 dekaliter
= 10 deciliters
= 100 centiliters
= 1000 milliliters
= 1,000,000 microliters
Most common volume denomination is:
1000 milliliters (mL) = 1 liter (L)
