50litres

50 litres, written as 50 L, is a metric unit of volume equal to fifty litres. In metric terms, one litre is defined as one cubic decimeter, so 50 L equals 0.05 cubic meters. As a practical measure, 50 L is commonly used to quantify liquids in both household and industrial contexts. In approximate imperial and US conversions, 50 litres is about 11.0 imperial gallons or 13.2 US gallons.

In everyday use, 50 L appears as the capacity of water containers, beverage kegs, fuel drums, and other liquid storage vessels. It is also a convenient size for home fermentation vessels, rain barrels, and certain laboratory or cooking applications. The exact mass corresponding to 50 L depends on the liquid’s density; for water at around room temperature, 50 L is roughly 50 kilograms, while denser or lighter liquids will have proportionally different masses.

The term is frequently encountered in labeling and specifications, where volume is specified under standard conditions. When converting to other units, density and temperature considerations may affect the precise mass. As with other metric volumes, the abbreviation L is widely understood in science, industry, and commerce.
