Please provide values below to convert liter [L, l] to hectoliter [hL], or Convert hectoliter to liter.
1 L, l = 0.01 hL. To convert liter to hectoliter, multiply the value by 0.01; to go the other way, divide by it (1 hL = 100 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 = 0.01 hL
- 1 hL = 100 L, l
- 10 L, l = 0.1 hL
- 100 L, l = 1 hL
