How Volume Conversion Works

All units are defined in liters. The US gallon is exactly 231 cubic inches, which is 3.785411784 liters. A US quart is a quarter of that, a pint is half a quart, a cup is half a pint and a tablespoon is 1/16 of a cup.

Formula
Result = Value × (liters per “from” unit ÷ liters per “to” unit)
Example
  1. 11 US cup = 0.2365882365 liters
  2. 22 × 0.2365882365 = 0.473176473

Therefore: 2 US cups is about 473.18 milliliters.

US vs Imperial Gallons

The imperial gallon used in the UK is about 4.546 liters — roughly 20% larger than the US gallon. The same applies to pints and fluid ounces. This converter uses US customary units only, so recipes and fuel figures from the United States convert correctly.
