Density: converting liters to kilograms by substance

How many kilograms is one liter? It depends on the substance. Density table for water, milk, oil, honey, flour and more.

Substance

Hustota (kg/l)

Objem (litry)

Hmotnost (kg)

You can also enter density manually. Conversion works both ways – edit liters or kilograms. Values are indicative (~20 °C); for bulk materials it is the bulk density.

Hodnoty jsou orientační tabulkové hodnoty při ~20 °C. U sypkých materiálů jde o sypnou hmotnost, která kolísá podle vlhkosti a udusání. Platí: 1 kg/l = 1 g/cm³ = 1 000 kg/m³ – další jednotky najdete u veličiny hustota.

Density unit conversions

1 kilogram per cubic meter (kg/m3) kg/m³ to g/cm³	=	0.001 grams per cubic centimeter
1 gram per cubic centimeter (g/cm3) g/cm³ to kg/m³	=	1000 kilograms per cubic meter
1 pound per gallon us (lb/US gal) lb/gal (US)	=	119.82643 kilograms per cubic meter
1 pound per cubic foot (lb/cu.ft) lb/ft³	=	16.018463 kilograms per cubic meter
