How the Conversion Works

This calculator uses a two-step conversion process through liters (L) as the base unit, which is the standard unit of volume in the International System of Units (SI).

Conversion Formula:

Step 1: Convert from fl oz (Imp) to liters (L)

Value in L = Input value ÷ 35.1951

Step 2: Convert from liters (L) to L

Result = Value in L (no conversion needed)

Simplified Formula:

Result = Input × 0.0284130461
Where 0.0284130461 is the conversion factor from fl oz (Imp) to L

Example Calculation:

Let's convert 16 fl oz (Imp) to L:

16 fl oz (Imp) ÷ 35.1951 = 0.454609 L
0.454609 L × 1 = 0.454609 L

Result: 16 fl oz (Imp) = 0.454609 L
