What Is This Tool?
This tool allows users to convert fuel consumption values expressed in meter per UK cup, a non-standard unit, into meter per liter, a more recognized engineering unit. It is useful for translating experimental or informal fuel efficiency data into standardized metrics for easier analysis and comparison.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the fuel consumption value measured in meter per UK cup.
-
Select the input unit as meter/cup (UK) and the output unit as meter/liter [m/L].
-
Click convert to obtain the equivalent fuel efficiency in meter per liter.
-
Use the result for further vehicle or engine efficiency analysis.
Key Features
-
Converts fuel consumption from meter/cup (UK) to meter/liter using a precise conversion factor.
-
Supports fuel efficiency evaluation for small engines, generators, and vehicles like scooters and mopeds.
-
Facilitates interpretation of experimental and classroom demonstration data in standardized units.
-
Browser-based and easy to use without the need for complex calculations.
Examples
-
10 meter/cup (UK) converts to 35.195 meter/liter [m/L].
-
5 meter/cup (UK) converts to 17.598 meter/liter [m/L].
Common Use Cases
-
Expressing fuel efficiency of small engines or portable generators in terms of distance travelled per volume of fuel.
-
Conducting classroom or demonstration experiments using UK cup as a volume unit for fuel consumption.
-
Converting informal fuel usage data into standard units for engineering or vehicle performance comparison.
-
Performing vehicle simulation modeling that requires precise distance-per-volume fuel consumption metrics.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure consistent measurement of the UK cup volume to maintain accuracy.
-
Use this conversion mainly for informal or experimental contexts due to the non-standard nature of meter/cup (UK).
-
Apply the conversion factor carefully to translate results into commonly used fuel efficiency units.
-
Combine this converter with other fuel consumption metrics when conducting detailed engineering analyses.
Limitations
-
Meter/cup (UK) is not an industry-standard unit and depends on an approximate cup volume of about 284.13 mL.
-
Results may have slight inaccuracies caused by variations in cup size or fuel density.
-
This tool only converts volumetric fuel consumption and does not consider fuel type or engine-specific conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does meter/cup (UK) measure?
-
Meter/cup (UK) measures the distance traveled in metres per UK cup of fuel consumed, serving as a non-standard measure of fuel efficiency.
-
Why convert meter/cup (UK) to meter/liter?
-
Converting to meter/liter translates informal or experimental data into a standardized unit that is widely used in engineering and vehicle efficiency evaluations.
-
Is meter/cup (UK) a standard unit?
-
No, meter/cup (UK) is not a standard industry unit and is mainly used for informal, experimental, or classroom contexts.
Key Terminology
-
Meter/cup (UK)
-
A non-standard unit measuring distance travelled in metres per UK cup (≈284.13 mL) of fuel consumed.
-
Meter/liter [m/L]
-
A fuel efficiency unit expressing distance in metres travelled per one litre of fuel consumed.
-
Volumetric fuel consumption
-
The amount of fuel volume used per distance travelled; meter/liter and meter/cup (UK) are reciprocal forms of this measure.
