Please provide values below to convert dekameter/liter [dam/L] to terameter/liter [Tm/L], or Convert terameter/liter to dekameter/liter.
How to Convert Dekameter/liter to Terameter/liter
1 dam/L = 1e-11 Tm/L
Example: convert 15 dam/L to Tm/L:
15 dam/L = 15 × 1e-11 Tm/L = 1.5e-10 Tm/L

Dekameter/liter
A dekameter (dam) is a metric unit of length equal to ten meters, and a liter (L) is a unit of volume equal to one cubic decimeter. The dekameter/liter (dam/L) is a derived unit used to express fuel consumption rates, representing the number of dekameters traveled per liter of fuel.
History/Origin
The dekameter is part of the metric system introduced in the 19th century to standardize measurements. The liter was officially adopted in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a practical unit of volume for liquids. The combined unit dam/L emerged as a specialized measure in contexts like fuel consumption, primarily used in certain European countries, but it is not a standard SI unit.
Current Use
The dekameter/liter is occasionally used in specific regions or industries to express fuel efficiency, especially in European countries. However, it is largely replaced by more common units such as kilometers per liter (km/L) or liters per 100 kilometers (L/100km) in everyday use and international standards.
Terameter/liter
A terameter per liter (Tm/L) is a unit of fuel consumption measurement representing one terameter traveled per liter of fuel used.
History/Origin
The terameter (Tm) is a metric unit of length introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to denote 10^12 meters. The concept of measuring fuel consumption in Tm/L is a modern extension used primarily in scientific and technical contexts to express very large distances per unit of fuel, though it is not a common unit in everyday use.
Current Use
The Tm/L unit is primarily used in scientific research and technical fields to quantify extremely high fuel efficiency or large-scale transportation distances, especially in theoretical or specialized applications within the context of fuel consumption and transportation analysis.
