What this tool does
Convert specific volume (volume per unit mass) between m3/kg, L/kg, mL/g, cm3/g, ft3/lb, in3/lb and US gallons per pound. Type an amount in cubic meters per kilogram, choose the units, and the tool converts it to liters per kilogram. It offers 9 specific volume units and also shows the same amount in the others.
Inputs
- Value: A number.
- From: Choose one from 9 options, including Cubic meter per kilogram, Liter per kilogram, Milliliter per gram, Cubic centimeter per gram, Liter per gram, Cubic meter per gram. Starts as Cubic meter per kilogram.
- To: Choose one of the same 9 units as "From". Starts as Liter per kilogram.
How to use
- Enter the amount you want to convert.
- Choose the unit to convert from and the unit to convert to.
- Read the result: the converted amount and the same amount in the other units. It appears once every required field has a valid value.
Worked examples
Conversions from cubic meters per kilogram to liters per kilogram:
- 1 m³/kg = 1,000 L/kg
- 5 m³/kg = 5,000 L/kg
- 10 m³/kg = 10,000 L/kg
- 50 m³/kg = 50,000 L/kg
- 100 m³/kg = 100,000 L/kg
Multiply the number of cubic meters per kilogram by 1,000 to get liters per kilogram. Both units are exact definitions, so 1,000 is the exact factor: 1 m³/kg = 1,000 L/kg.
Sources: Cubic meter per kilogram: SI Brochure, 9th edition (2019). Liter per kilogram: exact by definition.
Limitations
- Converts specific volume units only. The gallon here is the US gallon.
- Density, the inverse, is not shown.
FAQs
- Q: How many cubic feet per pound is one m3/kg?
- A: About 16.02 ft3/lb.
- Q: How do I get density from specific volume?
- A: Density is one divided by specific volume. A specific volume of 0.001 m3/kg is a density of 1000 kg/m3. This page converts the unit only and does not show density.
