The conversion of 0.85 toe to liters results in approximately 264.5 liters.
Since 1 toe equals about 311.0 liters, multiplying 0.85 by this factor gives the volume in liters. This conversion relies on the standard relation between toe, a coal energy unit, and liters, a measure of volume, based on energy content and density assumptions.

Conversion Formula
To convert toe to liters, the formula multiplies the number of toe by 311.0, because one toe approximates 311 liters based on energy content and density. For example, 1 toe times 311 gives 311 liters, so 0.85 toe equals 0.85 * 311 = 264.5 liters. This linear relation simplifies calculations and ensures consistent results across different values.
Conversion Example
- Convert 1.2 toe:
- Step 1: Write the formula: liters = toe * 311
- Step 2: Multiply 1.2 * 311 = 373.2 liters
- Convert 0.5 toe:
- Step 1: liters = 0.5 * 311
- Step 2: 0.5 * 311 = 155.5 liters
- Convert 2.0 toe:
- Step 1: liters = 2.0 * 311
- Step 2: 2.0 * 311 = 622 liters
- Convert 0.1 toe:
- Step 1: liters = 0.1 * 311
- Step 2: 0.1 * 311 = 31.1 liters

Conversion Definitions
toe
The tonne of oil equivalent (toe) is a unit measuring energy content, roughly equal to the energy released by burning one ton of crude oil. It standardizes energy comparisons across different fuels and energy sources, with about 41.868 gigajoules per toe.
liters
Liters is a volume measurement unit representing space occupied by liquids or gases. It equals one cubic decimeter and is used in various applications, including fluid measurements in industries, cooking, and scientific calculations, providing a convenient volume scale.
Conversion FAQs
How accurate is the 311 liters per toe approximation?
The 311 liters per toe approximation is a standard estimate based on average energy content of crude oil and density assumptions. Variations in fuel types and densities can cause slight differences, so for precise work, specific fuel data should be used.
Why do different sources sometimes list different liters per toe values?
Different energy sources and densities cause variations in the liters per toe conversion. Some sources consider specific crude oil types or include additional energy factors, leading to small discrepancies. Always check the context of the conversion factor used.
Can I convert other energy units to liters using the same formula?
No, the formula is specific to the conversion from toe, which is based on a standard energy content. Converting other units like gigajoules or barrels requires different conversion factors tailored to their energy densities and volumes.
How do I convert from liters back to toe?
To convert liters to toe, divide the volume in liters by 311.0. For example, 622 liters divided by 311 gives 2.0 toe. This reverse calculation helps when you know the volume and want to find the energy equivalent in toe.
