What Is This Tool?
This tool converts fuel consumption values from hectometer per liter (hm/L), a unit expressing how many hectometers can be traveled per liter of fuel, to meter per US customary cup, which measures distance traveled per one US cup of fuel. It helps analyze fuel efficiency for small-scale tests and equipment.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the fuel consumption value in hectometer per liter (hm/L).
-
Select the target unit as meter per US customary cup.
-
Click convert to get the equivalent distance per US cup of fuel.
-
Review the result to analyze or compare fuel economy for small-volume fuel measurements.
Key Features
-
Converts fuel economy from hm/L to meter per US cup using a precise conversion factor.
-
Useful for small vehicles, scooters, laboratory engine testing, and portable generator fuel measurements.
-
Browser-based and easy to use for quick unit conversions without complex calculations.
-
Provides clear examples demonstrating conversion calculations for practical understanding.
Examples
-
Convert 10 hm/L to meter/cup (US): 10 × 23.6588236485 = 236.588236485 meter/cup (US).
-
Convert 5 hm/L to meter/cup (US): 5 × 23.6588236485 = 118.2941182425 meter/cup (US).
Common Use Cases
-
Reporting fuel economy in small vehicles and scooters using 100-meter per liter increments.
-
Performing bench or laboratory tests on small engines or model vehicles with fuel dispensed by US cup volumes.
-
Converting small-volume fuel consumption data into standard units for analysis or comparison.
-
Conducting localized fuel consumption studies where hectometer measurement is more practical.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure the volume measurement for US cups aligns with the standard 236.588 mL for best results.
-
Use this tool when dealing with small fuel volumes for more precise and meaningful conversions.
-
Cross-check conversions when comparing with other fuel economy units like km/L or L/100 km.
-
Apply this tool when analyzing fuel economy for portable equipment such as generators and lawn tools.
Limitations
-
Conversion relies on the exact volume of a US customary cup; variations can affect accuracy.
-
Most suitable for small-volume fuel testing; for large scale or commercial measurements, other units are preferable.
-
Does not account for changes in measurement standards or fuel densities.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does hectometer per liter (hm/L) measure?
-
It measures the distance in hectometers a vehicle can travel per liter of fuel, commonly used for small vehicles or scooters.
-
Why convert hm/L to meter per US cup?
-
To analyze fuel efficiency when fuel is measured in small quantities such as US customary cups, often in lab or small engine testing.
-
Is this conversion suitable for commercial fuel economy data?
-
It is mainly intended for small-volume or localized studies; other units may be better for broader commercial data.
Key Terminology
-
Hectometer per liter (hm/L)
