Units of Capacity and Volume Conversion Chart

Units of capacity and volume conversion chart are discussed here in metric conversion of capacity and volume and also in customary units of capacity and volume.

Capacity is the amount, that a container can hold. We measure liquids such as milk, petrol or kerosene with the help of containers whose capacity is known.

The standard units of capacity are litre and millilitre.

1000 millilitres (mℓ) = 1 litre (ℓ)

In math when we use capacity and volume, we normally use liter to represent as the standard unit, and the other standard units are in the units in capacity and volume conversion chart.

1 milliliter = 0.001 liter

1 centiliter = 0.01 liter

1 deciliter = 0.1 liter

1 kiloliter = 1000 liters

Customary units of capacity and volume conversion table are:

1 gallon = 4 quarts

1 gallon = 128 ounces

1 quart = 2 pints

1 pint = 2 cups

1 cup = 8 ounces

Conversion of Capacity:

Conversion of capacity is done in the same way as conversion of weight.

Solved Examples on Units of Capacity and Volume Conversion Chart: 

Conversion of Millilitre into Litre:

1. Convert 55 mℓ into ℓ.

Solution:

55 ml = $\frac{55}{1000}$ ℓ

         = 0.055 ℓ

Word Problems on Conversion of Capacity

2. A bucket filled with 5650 mℓ of water. Find the quantity of water in ℓ and mℓ.

Solution:

5650 mℓ = 5000 mℓ + 650 mℓ

            = 5 ℓ + 650 mℓ

            = 5 ℓ 650 ml

Therefore, the quantity of water is 5 ℓ 650 mℓ.

Conversion of Litre into Millilitre:

3. Convert 0.065 ℓ into mℓ.

Solution:

0.065 liter = 0.065 × 1000 mℓ; [Since, 1 ℓ = 1000 mℓ]

                = 65 mℓ

Word Problems on Conversion of Capacity

4. The capacity of a paint bucket is 5 ℓ 550 mℓ. Find the capacity in mℓ.

Solution:

We know that, 1 ℓ = 1000 mℓ

5 ℓ = 5 x 1000 mℓ

    = 5000 mℓ

5 ℓ 550 mℓ = 5000 mℓ + 550 mℓ

                = 5550 mℓ

Therefore, the capacity of bucket is 5550 mℓ.

Conversion of Hecto Litres to Litres:

5. Convert 6 hℓ into ℓ.

Solution:

6 hecto liter = 6 × 100 ℓ

                  = 600 ℓ
