Volume & Capacity Converter

Liquid and dry “cup” measures trip people up because US and metric labels don’t mean the same thing at every border. This page keeps the math in one place so you can scale recipes or compare container sizes without a notebook.

Why these units exist

The liter is tied to the meter cubed in SI, while US customary volume measures (gallon, cup) grew from older wine and grain gallons—hence the stubborn gap between “a gallon” and four liters.

Volume as length cubed

V_target = V_source × (m³ per source unit) / (m³ per target unit)

Each volume unit is defined as a cube of a linear measure or an agreed liquid volume. Because everything ultimately references the cubic meter, you only need consistent ratios—no offsets.

Four ideas worth memorizing

  • 11 mL = 1 cm³ exactly—swap mental models between liquids and small solids.
  • 2US cup ≠ metric cup: recipes need the label’s definition (usually 240 mL for US cup).
  • 3UK vs US gallon differ dramatically—never assume “gallon” on a European datasheet.
  • 4m³ × 1000 = L—move decimals for thousand-liter tanks instead of re-deriving.

Frequently asked questions

Are US and UK gallons the same?

No, a UK (Imperial) gallon is about 20% larger than a US gallon.

How many cups in a quart?

There are 4 US cups in 1 US quart.

Why does my measuring cup disagree with a scale?

Volume tools vary by meniscus reading, temperature, and “cup” definition. For repeatability in baking, weigh ingredients when the author gives grams.
