The kilogram to gallons converter will save you time and help you convert a quantity from kg to gallons and vice versa.

All you need is to input the quantity for which you want to make the conversion. The calculator offers you a list of choices divided into various categories. Have a look through the categories in the What do you want to convert field and then select the correct item from the Item list. We have included a variety of substances, such as wet ingredients, like milk, oil, and ketchup, and even dry ingredients, like flour, salt, and sugar.

If you're going to convert from kg to gallons, just input the number of kilograms into the Weight field. And if you're going to convert from gallons to kg, do the same but with the number in gallons in the Volume field.

For example, if you want to estimate how much 7 kg of rice is in US gallons, follow these steps:

1. Select cereals from the What do you want to convert? box.
2. Select Rice from the Item list.
3. Enter 7 into the Weight field.
4. The result will be 2.57 gallons (US gallons).

Just to let you know, we have a gallons to pounds calculator as well if you are curious.

In the metric system, kilogram is the unit of weight, while in the imperial system, the unit of volume is gallons.

A gallon is equal to 4 quarts, 8 pints, or 16 cups.

Our kg to gallons calculator converts quantities both ways, i.e., from kg to gallons and from gallons to kg.

The ratio of a kilogram, kg, to a US gallon, gal, for water is:

1 kg = 0.26 gal

1 gal = 3.79 kg

This ratio is valid for water and quantities with a density equal to water, i.e., 1 g/ml. For UK gallon, the ratio is a little bit different:

1 kg = 0.22 gal

1 gal = 4.55 kg

You can convert any value you wish from kilograms to gallons, and vice versa - just follow the steps given below:

• Kg to gallons

  To convert a quantity from kg to gallons, use the following, more detailed, formula:

  quantity in gallons = quantity in kg / (3.785412 × density)

where density is in g/ml. For example, you want to convert 9.5 kg of cooking oil to gallons, the vital thing to know is the density of oil is 0.88 g/ml. If you place it in the formula along with 9.5 kg, your result is 2.85 gallons.

• Gallons to kg

You can use the formula to convert any quantity from kilograms to gallons as long as you know its density in g/ml. This conversion is from a unit of volume to weight, and so density is crucial to solving it:

quantity in kg = quantity in gallons * 3.785412 × density

A conversion between kilograms and gallons is actually a conversion between weight and volume. Since the density of water changes depending on its temperature and purity, the amount of space that 1 kg of water occupies will vary with these factors. So, for example, for pure water at 4 °C, the conversion is:

1. 1 kg = 0.26 gal of water
2. 1 gal = 3.79 kg of water

The thing is with this kind of conversion - we rarely think about it! However, you may find such a calculation useful in your everyday life, even if it is just to satisfy your curiosity. If you're standing in the supermarket, with your grocery list in hand, you may wonder how many kg are in a gallon of water, or how many kilograms are in a gallon of ketchup?
