Convert hectoliters (hl)

However, when converting hectoliters into other units of volume or weight, you must bear in mind that the weight of a volume depends on the density of the material. Below you will find an overview of the conversion of hectoliters into various units.

1. conversion to metric volume units

• Liter (l): 1 hl = 100 l
• Cubic meter (m³): 1 hl = 0.1 m³
• Cubic decimeter (dm³): 1 hl = 100 dm³
• Cubic centimeter (cm³): 1 hl = 100,000 cm³
• Milliliter (ml): 1 hl = 100,000 ml

2. conversion to non-metric volume units

• Gallons (US ): 1 hl = 26.42 US gallons
• Gallons (UK ): 1 hl = 21.997 UK gallons
• Quarts (US): 1 hl = 105.67 US quarts

3. conversion to weight units

As the weight of a certain volume depends on its density, the following conversions are only examples and may vary depending on the substance:

For water (at 4°C):

• Kilogram (kg ): 1 hl of water = 100 kg
• Gram (g ): 1 hl of water = 100,000 g

For wheat (density approx. 0.8 kg/l):

• Kilogram (kg ): 1 hl wheat = 80 kg

For sunflower seeds (density approx. 0.4 kg/l):

• Kilogram (kg): 1 hl sunflower seeds = 40 kg

Conclusion

Converting hectoliters into other units or weights always requires an understanding of the density of the material in question. It is important to be aware that a hectoliter of one substance does not necessarily weigh the same as a hectoliter of another substance. Therefore, one should always consider the specific gravity of the substance in question.
