What Is This Tool?
This unit converter helps you translate volume measurements from dekaliters, a liquid volume unit, to hundred-cubic foot, a gas volume unit widely used in natural gas utility billing and engineering.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the volume value in dekaliters you want to convert
-
Select 'dekaliter [daL]' as the input unit
-
Select 'hundred-cubic foot' as the target unit
-
Click the convert button to view the result
-

Key Features
-
Converts volume from dekaliter (daL) to hundred-cubic foot (100 ft³)
-
Uses a precise conversion rate based on defined volume equivalents
-
Supports common engineering and natural gas measurement units
-
Easy-to-use interface for quick volume conversions
-
Helps bridge liquid and gas volume measurement systems
Examples
-
10 Dekaliter [daL] equals 0.035314667 Hundred-cubic foot
-
100 Dekaliter [daL] equals 0.35314667 Hundred-cubic foot
Common Use Cases
-
Natural gas utility billing and meter readings reported per 100 cubic feet
-
Sizing and specifying gas flow, storage, and pipeline volumes in HVAC and gas-distribution engineering
-
Converting medium-sized batch volumes in brewing and beverage production
-
Reporting storage or small tank volumes in agricultural and industrial applications
-
Comparing gas volumes between imperial and SI units for engineering calculations
Tips & Best Practices
-
Always confirm units before converting to avoid errors
-
Understand that liquid and gas volume units differ in measuring contexts
-
Use this tool for volume equivalence but consider physical factors for precise calculations
-
Apply conversions carefully when dealing with natural gas due to pressure and temperature effects
-
Use the conversion as a reference in billing and engineering estimations
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes simple volume equivalence without factoring gas compressibility
-
Temperature and pressure differences are not accounted for in the conversion
-
Not suitable for precise engineering calculations requiring gas property adjustments
-
Primarily useful for estimating and comparing volumes rather than exact scientific measurements
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does 1 dekaliter represent?
-
1 dekaliter (daL) is a metric volume unit equal to 10 liters or 0.01 cubic meters, commonly used for bulk liquid volumes.
-
What is a hundred-cubic foot used for?
-
A hundred-cubic foot is a volume unit equal to 100 cubic feet, frequently used in natural gas metering, billing, and engineering.
-
Can I use this conversion for accurate natural gas billing?
-
This conversion provides volume equivalence but does not consider gas compressibility, temperature, or pressure, which are important for precise billing.
