What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms fuel consumption values measured in meter per US pint into the metric standard of liter per 100 kilometers. It is designed to translate mixed-unit data, typically from small-engine or bench tests, into commonly used vehicle fuel economy figures.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the fuel efficiency value in meter per US pint.
-
Select the input unit as meter/pint (US) [m/pt (US)].
-
Choose the output unit as liter/100 km [L/100 km].
-
Initiate the conversion to obtain the equivalent fuel consumption in liters per 100 kilometers.
Key Features
-
Converts fuel efficiency from mixed metric and US customary units.
-
Supports small-engine and automotive industry requirements.
-
Provides clear transformation from distance per volume to volume per distance units.
Examples
-
Converting 2 m/pt (US) results in 94635.294593964 L/100 km.
-
Converting 0.5 m/pt (US) results in 23658.823648491 L/100 km.
Common Use Cases
-
Translating bench or small-engine test results where distances are in meters and fuel consumption in US pints.
-
Comparing fuel-economy data between metric distances and US customary volume units.
-
Standardizing fuel economy values for passenger vehicles and regulatory compliance.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Understand that meter/pint (US) measures small-scale distances per volume, unlike vehicle fuel economy units.
-
Apply conversion carefully due to the large conversion factor and differing measurement scales.
-
Use the tool to ensure consistent reporting and comparison across different fuel consumption units.
Limitations
-
The very large conversion factor reflects differing measurement scales, requiring careful interpretation.
-
Direct conversions might lead to confusion without considering the context of units' usage.
-
The meter/pint (US) unit is uncommon and may not always be interoperable without explanation.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does meter/pint (US) measure in terms of fuel consumption?
-
Meter/pint (US) represents the distance in meters traveled per US liquid pint of fuel, combining metric distance with US customary volume units.
-
Why convert meter/pint (US) to liter/100 km?
-
Converting to liter/100 km allows fuel efficiency data from small-engine or mixed-unit tests to be standardized for vehicle fuel economy reporting and compliance.
-
Can this conversion be used for regular passenger vehicles?
-
While the conversion translates units, meter/pint (US) is mainly used in small-engine contexts, so it may not directly apply to typical passenger vehicle data without context.
Key Terminology
-
Meter/pint (US) [m/pt (US)]
-
A fuel-efficiency measure expressing distance in meters traveled per US liquid pint of fuel, used mainly in small-engine or bench testing scenarios.
-
Liter/100 km [L/100 km]
-
A metric unit measuring fuel consumption as liters of fuel required to travel 100 kilometers, commonly used for vehicle fuel economy.
