What Is This Tool?
This online converter transforms fuel consumption values measured in liter/100 km, a common metric unit, into meter per US pint, which combines metric distance with US customary volume. It helps compare and interpret fuel efficiency data across different measurement systems.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the fuel consumption value in liters per 100 kilometers.
-
Select the input unit as liter/100 km and the output unit as meter per US pint.
-
Click convert to view the corresponding fuel efficiency in meters per US pint.
-
Use the converted values for analysis or reporting as needed.
Key Features
-
Converts metric fuel consumption units (L/100 km) to mixed units combining meters and US pints (m/pt US).
-
Supports applications in automotive and small engine fuel economy assessments.
-
Facilitates comparisons between international measurement standards.
-
User-friendly interface suitable for both regulatory purposes and practical estimations.
Examples
-
1 L/100 km equals approximately 47,317.65 m/pt (US).
-
5 L/100 km converts to around 236,588.24 m/pt (US).
Common Use Cases
-
Interpreting passenger vehicle fuel economy labels and specifications.
-
Conducting regulatory and laboratory fuel-efficiency compliance tests.
-
Estimating fuel budgets for fleet and route planning.
-
Assessing fuel consumption of small engines and portable equipment using US customary volume.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure the unit systems are clearly specified to avoid confusion.
-
Use the converter for mixed unit applications where metric distances need to be expressed per US volume units.
-
Cross-verify values when precise unit definitions or rounding may affect results.
Limitations
-
Unit system differences may lead to misunderstandings if not clearly communicated.
-
Calculation precision depends on exact volume definitions and rounding approaches.
-
Conversion does not reflect factors like vehicle driving conditions or fuel variations affecting consumption.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does liter/100 km measure?
-
Liter/100 km measures how many liters of fuel are consumed to travel 100 kilometers, with lower values indicating higher fuel efficiency.
-
What is meter/pint (US) used for?
-
Meter per US pint indicates the distance traveled in meters for each US liquid pint of fuel, useful for small engine tests and mixed unit reporting.
-
Why convert between these specific units?
-
Conversion helps compare fuel efficiency between metric and US customary volume systems, important for international or mixed-standard reporting.
Key Terminology
-
Liter/100 km [L/100 km]
-
A metric measure indicating how many liters of fuel a vehicle consumes to travel 100 kilometers; lower values denote higher efficiency.
-
Meter/pint (US) [m/pt (US)]
-
A fuel-efficiency measure showing distance in meters traveled for each US liquid pint of fuel; higher values represent better efficiency.
-
US liquid pint
-
A unit of volume equal to approximately 0.473176473 liters, commonly used in the United States for measuring liquid quantities.
