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 Kanna is a traditional unit of volume from Sweden, equal to 2.617 liters.
The word itself means "can," "pot," or "jug" in Swedish, directly reflecting its use as a container for measuring.
The correct plural form is Kannor, a term you'll find in historical records and recipes.
The Kanna has deep roots in Swedish history, serving as a standard unit of measurement long before the country adopted the metric system in 1889.
This measurement was a part of everyday life, used in homes and markets all across Sweden to measure everything from milk and spirits to dry goods.
The Kanna was part of a larger system of units, where a stop was half a Kanna, and a tunna (or barrel) was made up of 48 Kannor.
To help you visualize this volume, one Kanna is approximately the size of a large 2-liter soda bottle.
