Formula
Formula
dL = L × 10
Multiply any value in litres by 10 to obtain the value in decilitres.
Worked example
Convert 1 L to dL.
- 01Start with 1 L.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 10 = 10 dL.
Result1 L = 10 dL

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from L to dL?
1 L equals 10 dL. To convert, multiply the value in litres by 10.
How do I convert 1 L to dL?
1 L = 10 dL. For any value, multiply by 10.
How do I convert dL back to L?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.1. So 1 dL = 0.1 L.
When would I need to convert litre to decilitre?
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).
