Metric liters to U.S. gallons conversion table for IBC totes and available intermediate bulk container (IBC) products.
A common inquiry IBC Tanks receives is regarding the IBC tote volume capacities for IBC totes and their availability in Metric Liter (L) units. Intermediate bulk containers made in the United States are engineered and provided using U.S. common measurements of gallons. With this said however, many IBC products that include external gallonage markers also include the accompanying volume value in liters.
For the products themselves, they are branded and advertised in U.S. gallons. The following tables provide a conversion of IBC tote volumes from gallons to liters and lists products available in those sizes.
