About converting Liters to Fluid Ounces (US)
Liters (L) and Fluid Ounces (US) (fl oz) are both units of volume, so converting between them is a single multiplication: multiply your Liters figure by 33.814. Ten Liters comes to 338.1402 Fluid Ounces (US), and a hundred works out at 3,381.4 Fluid Ounces (US).
Rule of thumb: going from Liters to Fluid Ounces (US) multiplies, so the figure always grows — one Liter is already 33.814 Fluid Ounces (US). If your answer came out smaller, you have the conversion the wrong way round.
What is a Liter?
The liter is not, strictly speaking, an SI unit — it is merely accepted for use alongside SI, and is defined as exactly one cubic decimetre: the volume of a cube ten centimetres on a side. That pedantic status has done nothing to slow it down, since it is how most of the world buys fuel, milk, paint and soft drinks. Both L and l are accepted symbols, but the capital L is preferred in the United States and increasingly elsewhere, because a lowercase l in most typefaces is almost indistinguishable from the digit 1 — a genuine hazard on a dosage label.
What is a Fluid Ounce (US)?
A fluid ounce measures volume, not weight, despite sharing a name with the ounce on a kitchen scale — the two are related only loosely, through the weight of water. The US and imperial fluid ounces are different sizes, and counterintuitively the imperial one is the smaller, even though the imperial gallon is the bigger of the two: the imperial gallon divides into 160 fluid ounces, the US gallon into just 128. The gap is small enough to slip past a reader and large enough to matter, which makes it a reliable trap in cocktail recipes and drink can sizes.
To put both in perspective: a large bottle of soda holds two liters, while a US shot of spirits is about one and a half fluid ounces.
