Discover the ease of converting volume units from centimeters-liters to dekameters-liters with our intuitive cmL to daL converter, crafted by Newtum for accurate and fast results.
A centimeter-liter (cmL) is a unit of volume commonly used in the metric system. It represents the volume of a cube with sides of 1 centimeter in length. One centimeter-liter is equivalent to one-thousandth of a liter, since a liter is defined as the volume of a cube with 10 centimeters on each side.
Definition of Dekameter-literA dekameter-liter (daL) is a less common unit of volume measurement in the metric system. It is defined as the volume contained in a cube with each side measuring one dekameter, which is 10 meters. Therefore, one dekameter-liter is equal to 1,000 liters, illustrating a significantly larger volume compared to a centimeter-liter.
Centimeter-liter (cmL) | Dekameter-liter (daL) |
---|---|
1 cmL | 0.000001 daL |
10 cmL | 0.00001 daL |
50 cmL | 0.00005 daL |
100 cmL | 0.0001 daL |
250 cmL | 0.00025 daL |
500 cmL | 0.0005 daL |
750 cmL | 0.00075 daL |
1000 cmL | 0.001 daL |
2500 cmL | 0.0025 daL |
5000 cmL | 0.005 daL |
1 cmL = 0.000001 daL
1 daL = 1000000 cmL
Example 1:
convert 100 cmL to daL:
100 cmL = 100 × 0.000001 daL = 0.0001 daL
Example 2:
convert 2500 cmL to daL:
2500 cmL = 2500 × 0.000001 daL = 0.0025 daL
A brief history of volume conversion: Initially, diverse units of measure were used based on local standards. The metric system, introduced in France in 1795, standardized measurements like the centimeter-liter and dekameter-liter, facilitating consistent conversions like cmL to daL.
