80lt

80lt is a designation that appears in some technical catalogs and hobbyist literature to indicate a container’s capacity of roughly 80 liters. It is not an official SI unit; the standard unit for liquid volume is the liter, written as L or l. The “lt” portion is an informal abbreviation that some manufacturers and vendors use when space is limited or to fit internal naming schemes. Because 80lt is not standardized, its exact meaning can vary between sources; in most cases it should be read as 80 liters, but readers should verify against the product specifications.

In practice, 80lt can refer to storage vessels such as tanks, drums, or beakers that are around 80 L in capacity. It may also appear in contexts like aquarium equipment, beverage or chemical containers, or other gear where a nominal 80-liter capacity is relevant. In some catalogs or databases, 80lt may serve as a model or variant code that is not strictly tied to capacity, so the designation should be checked against accompanying data.

Ambiguity is the primary consideration when encountering 80lt. The use of “lt” can lead to confusion with other abbreviations or with the letter L itself. To ensure accuracy, consult the source’s specifications or convert to liters using the stated capacity, noting any tolerances or rounding. If possible, prefer explicit “80 L” notation to minimize misinterpretation. See also liter, capacity, and product designation conventions.
