Convert Cup (UK) to Liter
Cup (UK)
The UK cup is a unit of volume in the imperial system, which is used primarily in the United Kingdom and other countries that follow the imperial system. It is defined as 1/4th of an imperial pint, or 10 imperial fluid ounces. One UK cup is equivalent to approximately 284.131 milliliters (mL). It is commonly used in cooking, particularly in recipes for both liquid and dry ingredients.
The UK cup has its origins in the imperial system, which was standardized in the 19th century. The imperial cup was based on the imperial pint, with the cup being 1/4th of a pint. The imperial pint, in turn, was defined as 568.261 milliliters. As a result, the UK cup is approximately 284.131 milliliters. Although the UK cup is still used in some traditional recipes, the metric system is now the primary system for volume measurements in the UK, with the liter being more commonly used.
Liter
The liter (L) is a unit of volume in the metric system. It is defined as the volume of a cube with sides that are each 10 centimeters long, which is equivalent to 1,000 cubic centimeters (cm³) or 0.001 cubic meters (m³). One liter is also equivalent to 1,000 milliliters (mL).
The liter was originally introduced in France in the 18th century as part of the metric system during the French Revolution. It was based on the volume of 1 kilogram of water at the temperature of its maximum density, which is about 4°C. Over time, the liter became a standard unit for measuring liquids and volumes in many countries around the world. Although the liter is not an SI base unit (the SI unit of volume is the cubic meter), it is accepted for use with the SI, and it remains widely used internationally for measuring everyday volumes, such as beverages, fuel, and cooking ingredients.
