Convert femtoliter to kiloliter
Please provide values below to convert femtoliter [fL] to kiloliter [kL], or Convert kiloliter to femtoliter.
1 fL = 1.0000e-18 kL. To convert femtoliter to kiloliter, multiply the value by 1.0000e-18; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kL = 1.0000e+18 fL). Both units measure volume and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 fL = 1.0000e-18 kL
- 1 kL = 1.0000e+18 fL
- 10 fL = 1.0000e-17 kL
- 100 fL = 1.0000e-16 kL
How to Convert Femtoliter to Kiloliter
1 fL = 1e-18 kL
Example: convert 15 fL to kL:
15 fL = 15 × 1e-18 kL = 1.5e-17 kL

Femtoliter
A femtoliter (fL) is a unit of volume equal to 10^-15 liters, used to measure extremely small quantities.
History/Origin
The femtoliter was introduced as part of the SI prefixes for metric units, specifically to quantify very small volumes in scientific research, particularly in biology and chemistry.
Current Use
Femtoliters are commonly used in fields such as cell biology, microfluidics, and nanotechnology to measure tiny volumes like individual cells, droplets, or nanoliter-scale samples.
Kiloliter
A kiloliter (kL) is a unit of volume equal to 1,000 liters.
History/Origin
The kiloliter originated from the metric system as a larger unit for measuring volume, primarily used in scientific and industrial contexts since the adoption of the metric system in the 19th century.
Current Use
Kiloliters are used today in fields such as water management, agriculture, and industry to measure large quantities of liquids efficiently.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 femtoliter in kiloliter?
1 femtoliter (fL) = 1.0000e-18 kiloliter (kL).
How do you convert femtoliter to kiloliter?
Multiply the femtoliter value by 1.0000e-18. For example, 25 fL × 1.0000e-18 = 2.5000e-17 kL.
What is 10 femtoliter in kiloliter?
10 fL = 1.0000e-17 kL.
Which unit is larger, the femtoliter or the kiloliter?
The kiloliter is the larger unit: 1 fL equals only 1.0000e-18 kL.
