kg to Liter Converter

Q: How many liters of water is equal to 1 kg?

1 kilogram of pure water equals 1 liter when reaching its maximum density of 1 kg/l, at the temperature of 39.2 °F or 4 °C. For higher temperatures, 1 kg of water is slightly more than 1 liter. For example, 1 kg of water equals about 1.002 liters at room temperature.

Q: Is kilogram equal to liter?

A kilogram is only equal to a liter when the density of the material is 1 kg/l , such as for pure water. To convert kg into liter, divide the weight of the material by its density: liter = weight / density Be sure to check the units of all your variables.

Q: How do I convert kg to liter formula into liter to kg?

To convert kg to liters formula: Multiply the density of the liquid by its liter quantity, i.e.: kg = liter × density Be sure to express density in kg per liters to convert kg to liters correctly. To find liter from kg, divide the weight quantity by the density of the liquid, i.e.: liter = kg / density

Formula for converting kg to liter using density

To convert liters to kg using density, we use the following formula:

kg = liter × density

Similarly, we can rewrite the formula to convert kg to liters:

liter = kg / density

To use these formulas, we need to know the density (in kg/l units), i.e., the ratio of the mass to volume for liquid we wish to convert.

Using olive oil with a density of 0.918 kg/l, let's convert 5 liters to kg as an example.

Placing the values, we get:

weight of olive oil = 5 liters × 0.918 kg/l
weight of olive oil = 4.59 kg

Now you know how to convert 5 liters to kg.
