SponsoredThis converter turns deciliters into liters (dl to l). Enter a value and the result updates as you type. The section "What Is a Deciliter" below gives the factor and where it comes from.
Deciliters are used for some recipe amounts and for medical lab values, liters for drinks and larger containers, so the step between them comes up when following a metric recipe or reading a lab report. Both belong to the metric system, so the conversion is only a move of the decimal point.
The result is rounded to 4 decimal places, but the factor behind it never is, so long chains of conversions stay accurate. Type a whole number or a decimal; the conversion table below lists common values.
What Is a Deciliter
A deciliter is a tenth of a liter, 100 milliliters, written dL or dl; the prefix deci means one tenth, and NIST Handbook 44 lists 10 deciliters to the liter. It is the volume behind many lab results: cholesterol is measured in milligrams per deciliter, mg/dL, as MedlinePlus explains, and the Cholesterol Ratio Calculator works with those values. For recipes that give liquids in cups, the Cooking Unit Converter handles cups and spoons.
