Formula
Formula
L = dL × 0.1
Multiply any value in decilitres by 0.1 to obtain the value in litres.
Worked example
Convert 10 dL to L.
- 01Start with 10 dL.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 10 × 0.1 = 1 L.
Result10 dL = 1 L

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from dL to L?
1 dL equals 0.1 L. To convert, multiply the value in decilitres by 0.1.
How do I convert 1 dL to L?
1 dL = 0.1 L. For any value, multiply by 0.1.
How do I convert L back to dL?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 10. So 1 L = 10 dL.
When would I need to convert decilitre to litre?
Volume conversions are used for tank sizing, batch calculations, and bridging between vendor specs (gallons, barrels, ft³) and process documentation (m³, litres).
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
