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.
A centiliter (cl) is a unit of volume in the metric system, equal to one-hundredth of a liter.
It's a common measurement you'll often see on beverage containers and in recipes.
The centiliter is directly related to the liter, the base unit of volume in the metric system. The prefix "centi-" means one-hundredth, which makes the conversion very simple.
There are 100 centiliters in one liter:
While scientists often use milliliters, you can find centiliters on many everyday consumer products, especially in Europe.
Common examples include:
Converting between centiliters and milliliters is easy because the metric system is based on units of 10. Since "milli" means one-thousandth, the rule is simple:
To convert centiliters to milliliters, you multiply the number of centiliters by 10.
For example, a standard 75 cl wine bottle contains 750 milliliters (ml).
75 cl × 10 = 750 ml
