Convert liter to deciliter
Please provide values below to convert liter [L, l] to deciliter [dL], or Convert deciliter to liter.
1 L, l = 10 dL. To convert liter to deciliter, multiply the value by 10; to go the other way, divide by it (1 dL = 0.1 L, l). Both units measure volume and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 L, l = 10 dL
- 1 dL = 0.1 L, l
- 10 L, l = 100 dL
- 100 L, l = 1000 dL
How to Convert Liter to Deciliter

Liter
The liter (L, l) is a metric unit of volume equal to one cubic decimeter, commonly used to measure liquids and other substances.
History/Origin
The liter was introduced in France in 1795 as part of the metric system, based on the cubic decimeter, and has since become a standard unit of volume worldwide.
Current Use
The liter is widely used in science, industry, and daily life for measuring liquids, beverages, and other fluids, especially in countries using the metric system.
Deciliter
A deciliter (dL) is a unit of volume equal to one-tenth of a liter, commonly used to measure liquids.
History/Origin
The deciliter was introduced as part of the metric system in the 19th century to provide a convenient subdivision of the liter, facilitating measurements in cooking and scientific contexts.
Current Use
Deciliters are used in various countries for measuring liquids in cooking, nutrition labeling, and scientific experiments, especially where metric units are standard.
