SponsoredThis converter turns liters into cubic meters (liters to m3). Enter a value and the result updates as you type. The section "How Many Cubic Meters in a Liter" below gives the factor and where it comes from.
Liters are the unit on tanks, drums and pumps, while building plans, freight and water utilities count in cubic meters. Dividing by 1,000 moves from one to the other, the same as moving the decimal point three places to the left.
The result is rounded to 6 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.
How Many Cubic Meters in a Liter
A liter is exactly 0.001 cubic meter, one thousandth. Picture the cubic meter as a box 1 meter on each side: a liter is a cube 10 centimeters on each side, and 1,000 of those fill the box.
How to Convert Liters to Cubic Meters
To convert liters to cubic meters, divide by 1,000. For example, 750 liters equals exactly 0.75 cubic meters.
To go from cubic meters back to liters, multiply by 1,000. For example, 3 cubic meters equals exactly 3,000 liters.

Pumps, Tanks and Flow Rates
Flow rates convert the same way. A pump moving 600 liters per minute moves 0.6 cubic meters per minute, or 36 cubic meters per hour. A 5,000 liter rainwater tank holds 5 cubic meters. The Tank Volume Calculator gives a tank's volume from its size, and the Pipe Volume Calculator works out how much liquid a length of pipe holds.
