How to Convert Liters to Fluid Ounces

To convert liters to fluid ounces, multiply the volume by the following conversion ratio: 35.1950797 fluid ounces/liter.

Since one liter is equal to 35.1950797 fluid ounces, you can use this simple formula to convert:

fluid ounces = liters × 35.1950797

The volume in fluid ounces is equal to the volume in liters multiplied by 35.1950797.

For example, here's how to convert 5 liters to fluid ounces using the formula above.

fluid ounces = (5 L × 35.1950797) = 175.9753986 fl oz (UK)

How Many Fluid Ounces Are in a Liter?

There are 35.1950797 fluid ounces in a liter, which is why we use this value in the formula above.

1 L = 35.1950797 fl oz (UK)|1 fl oz (UK) = 0.0284131 L

Our liter to fluid ounce calculator automatically converts your volume measurements with full decimal and scientific precision across US customary, imperial, and SI metric standards.

Liters and fluid ounces are both units used to measure volume. Keep reading to learn more about each unit.

What Is a Liter?

Metric unit of volume equal to 1 cubic decimeter (1,000 mL). It serves as a primary reference unit for measuring volume across scientific and practical applications. [1]

The liter is classified as a metric and SI-compatible unit of volume. Liters can be abbreviated as L; for example, 1 liter can be written as 1 L.

As the primary coherent reference unit for volume in this category, all other volume units are mathematically anchored to the liter (L).

In practice, liters (L) are widely used across standard volume applications within SI metric workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.

What Is a Fluid Ounce?

A fluid ounce is a unit of volume equal to 0.0284131 liters (L), the base unit for volume. 1/160 of a UK Imperial gallon (28.4131 mL). [2]

The fluid ounce is classified as a US customary and imperial unit of volume. Fluid Ounces can be abbreviated as fl oz (UK); for example, 1 fluid ounce can be written as 1 fl oz (UK).

When working with fluid ounces (fl oz (UK)) in formulas or technical specifications, always verify whether your target system uses SI metric, US customary, or British imperial standards.

In practice, fluid ounces (fl oz (UK)) are widely used across standard volume applications within US customary and imperial workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.

When converting volume between liters (L) and fluid ounces (fl oz (UK)), keep full floating-point precision (1 L = 35.1950797 fl oz (UK); 1 fl oz (UK) = 0.0284131 L) during intermediate calculations and round only the final fluid ounce figure to match your instrument tolerance.
