Volume
LtohL
Convert litres (L) to hectolitres (hL).
Factor1 L = 0.01 hL
Converter
L
Accepts numbers or expressions, e.g. 150 + 14.7
Result
hL
Rendered to 6 significant figures.
Formula
Formula
hL = L × 0.01
Multiply any value in litres by 0.01 to obtain the value in hectolitres.
Worked example
Convert 100 L to hL.
- 01Start with 100 L.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 100 × 0.01 = 1 hL.
Result100 L = 1 hL

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from L to hL?
1 L equals 0.01 hL. To convert, multiply the value in litres by 0.01.
How do I convert 1 L to hL?
1 L = 0.01 hL. For any value, multiply by 0.01.
How do I convert hL back to L?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 100. So 1 hL = 100 L.
When would I need to convert litre to hectolitre?
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).
