What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms fuel consumption values from the metric unit Liter per 100 kilometers (L/100 km) to the imperial-based unit Meter per UK pint (m/pt UK). It helps translate fuel efficiency from volume per distance to distance per volume, specifically using UK pint measurements.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km).
-
Select the source unit as Liter/100 km [L/100 km].
-
Choose the target unit as Meter/pint (UK) [m/pt (UK)].
-
Click convert to see the fuel consumption in meters per UK pint.
Key Features
-
Converts fuel consumption from L/100 km to m/pt (UK).
-
Supports fuel efficiency measurements for passenger cars, motorcycles, and small engines.
-
Suitable for automotive industry, regulatory compliance, and laboratory testing.
-
Offers a browser-based, user-friendly interface for quick conversions.
Examples
-
1 L/100 km equals approximately 56,826.24 m/pt (UK).
-
5 L/100 km equals approximately 284,131.21 m/pt (UK).
Common Use Cases
-
Fuel economy labeling for passenger vehicles.
-
Measuring fuel consumption in motorcycles, scooters, or small vehicles using UK pints.
-
Laboratory or workshop testing for small engines and fuel dispensing in pint quantities.
-
Converting fuel efficiency data between metric and UK imperial units.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure fuel volumes are measured precisely in UK pints (0.56826125 liters) for accurate results.
-
Use this unit for short-range or small volume fuel consumption measurements.
-
Cross-check conversions when comparing with other common units like km/L or mpg.
Limitations
-
Accuracy depends on fuel volume being measured using the UK pint definition only.
-
Not ideal for long-range fuel economy comparisons due to large numeric output values.
-
Primarily suited for small engines and short-range application contexts.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does Liter/100 km (L/100 km) measure?
-
Liter/100 km measures the volume of fuel in liters needed to travel 100 kilometers; lower values indicate better fuel efficiency.
-
What is Meter/pint (UK) used for?
-
Meter/pint (UK) expresses the distance traveled per UK pint of fuel consumed, commonly used for small vehicles or engines where fuel volume is in UK pints.
-
Why convert from L/100 km to m/pt (UK)?
-
This conversion is helpful to compare fuel efficiency data in regions using UK pints or to analyze consumption in small-volume fuel systems.
-
Are other pint definitions compatible with this conversion?
-
No, this tool assumes the UK pint definition (0.56826125 liters); using other pint definitions may cause inaccuracies.
Key Terminology
-
Liter/100 km [L/100 km]
-
A metric unit measuring liters of fuel consumed to travel 100 kilometers; a standard for vehicle fuel efficiency.
-
Meter/pint (UK) [m/pt (UK)]
-
A derived fuel-efficiency unit showing meters traveled per UK pint (0.56826125 litres) of fuel.
-
UK pint
-
A volume measurement equal to 0.56826125 liters, used primarily in the United Kingdom.
