A Glas is a unit of volume in the metric system, equal to 0.2 Liters (l) or 200 milliliters (mL).
It's a simple and practical measurement, and its plural form is also "Glas."
As you might guess from the name, "Glas" is the German word for a drinking "glass."
This unit of volume originates from the typical size of a standard drinking glass in Germany and other German-speaking countries.
While not an official SI unit, it's a common, practical measurement you'll often see in German recipes for cakes or for serving everyday beverages like milk or juice.
Understanding how a Glas converts to other common units is essential for cooking and everyday use.
Since one Glas is exactly 200 mL, its conversions are very straightforward.
The Glas serves as a convenient bridge between other common metric volume units, highlighting its practical size for kitchen measurements.
A kiloliter (kl) is a unit of volume in the metric system, equal to 1,000 liters.
It's used for measuring large quantities where using liters would be impractical.
A kiloliter is equivalent to a cubic meter, meaning they represent the same amount of volume. This creates a straightforward 1:1 relationship for conversions:
This direct conversion makes it incredibly easy to switch between liquid volume and spatial volume. This is particularly useful in fields like civil engineering, hydrology, and construction for tasks like calculating the capacity of a reservoir, swimming pool, or cargo container.
The kiloliter is a standard unit for measuring large quantities of liquids across many industries. When measuring large volumes, liters can become cumbersome, which is where the kiloliter comes in.
You'll commonly encounter the kiloliter in:
For water under standard conditions, there is a valuable and straightforward relationship between its volume and its mass.
One kiloliter of water has a mass of almost exactly one metric ton (1,000 kilograms).
This handy conversion, one kl of water ≈ 1 tonne, is fundamental in logistics and shipping, where the weight of liquid cargo is a critical factor.
