Result in Cubic Yards:

1 L = 0.001308 yd³

How to Convert Liters to Cubic Yards

To convert a measurement in liters to a measurement in cubic yards, multiply the volume by the following conversion ratio: 0.001308 cubic yards/liter.

Since one liter is equal to 0.001308 cubic yards, you can use this simple formula to convert:

cubic yards = liters × 0.001308

The volume in cubic yards is equal to the volume in liters multiplied by 0.001308.

For example, here's how to convert 500 liters to cubic yards using the formula above.

cubic yards = (500 L × 0.001308) = 0.653975 yd³

Liters and cubic yards are both units used to measure volume. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.

What Is a Liter?

A liter is a unit of volume equal to 1,000 cubic centimeters or 0.264172 US gallons.^[1] The liter is a special name defined for the cubic decimeter and is exactly equal to the volume of one cubic decimeter (1 decimeter is 1/10 of a meter, or 10 centimeters).

The liter is an SI accepted unit for volume for use with the metric system. A liter is sometimes also referred to as a litre. Liters can be abbreviated as L, and are also sometimes abbreviated as l or ℓ. For example, 1 liter can be written as 1 L, 1 l, or 1 ℓ.

What Is a Cubic Yard?

The cubic yard is a unit of volume that is equal to the space consumed by a cube with each edge measuring one yard.

The cubic yard is a US customary and imperial unit of volume. A cubic yard is sometimes also referred to as a cubic yd. Cubic yards can be abbreviated as yd³, and are also sometimes abbreviated as cu yard, cu yd, or CY. For example, 1 cubic yard can be written as 1 yd³, 1 cu yard, 1 cu yd, or 1 CY.

You can calculate volume using a cubic yardage calculator if you have the dimensions of a space or object.
