Converting Kilograms to liters

[otagoodcar]

I need to convert 390.2 Kg to liters. The specific gravity is 1.2104. From everything I read, you multiply. Is this correct? If multiplying, I come out with 472.298 liters. If dividing I come out with 322.372 liters. Is that anything with a specific gravity of less than 1 is multiplied, and anything with a specific gravity greater than 1 is divided?

Thanks,

Specific gravity is the density of the substance as compared to water. Water has a density of 1 kilogram/liter. So a specific gravity of 1.2104 means it has a density of 1.2104 kilogram/liter

Using algebra we know whether to multiply or divide to make one of the units cancel out.

kilograms / (kilogram/liter) = liter
liters * (kilogram/liter) = kilogram

So in your case, you divide:

390.2 kilograms / 1.2104 kilograms/liter = 322.3728 liters

Whether you multiply or divide does not depend on if the specific gravity is above or below zero, it only depends on which direction you are going, from kilogram to liter or from liter to kilogram.

Im terrible at maths! I need to know how many litres our 30,000kg tank holds????

[Mrs X]

If your tank holds water, then 30,000kg = 30,000L. If the material is something other than water, you could post the substance, and someone may be able to find the density. :)

Think of it this way

If the specific gravity is >1 : the fluid weighs more and has fewer liters

eg. specific gravity 1.5 would mean 3000 kg = 1500 liters

specific gravity 0.5 would mean 3000 kg = 4500 liters

You would either multiply the liter side or divide the kg side.


kg side liter side
3000/1.5 = 1500
or
3000 = 1500 * 1.5

It might have changed, but when I went to school, 1500 x 2 = 3000

225litres of diesel to kilogram

[JohnS]

225litres of diesel to kilogram

Density can vary between refinies and between batches. But .837 kg/L seems typical of #2 conventional diesel (US Dept. of Energy data). So that would be about 188 kg.

If you have a density figure specific to your lot of diesel fuel, use it instead.

Hi,

Suppose the water is flavoured, is it then 1 kg = 1 liter.

density = mass/volume

Diesel and petrol (gasoline) are both blends of MANY different petrochemicals and density varies between lots, refineries, etc. For any accuracy, you need measured density for the lot in question. However, typical values are gasoline, 730 kg/m³, diesel, 840 kg/m³
(1 m³ = 1000 L)

1 kg equal to liters =?

could anyone please tell me what 80 litres is it kilograms

[Unregistered]

What about mixed substances for example:

A Liquid bulk of 1000 kg contains:

Water: 15.0 kg (Density = 1:1)
Liquid 1: 985 kg (Density = 1:4.1617)

Since there is so little water I'm guessing the density will remain as 4.1617, however, if the example were:

Water: 500 kg (Density = 1:1)
Liquid 1: 500 kg (Density = 1:4.1617)

How would we calculate a mixed substance?

[Unregistered]

I have worked the following out can some please confirm if this is correct or not ?

Density - 769 kg/m3 (Ethanol)

Mass flow rate 125kg/Hr

Volume = Mass / Density

=125 kg/hr / 769 kg m3

= 0.162 m3 / hr

Convert m3 into litres / hr

=162 l/hr

Thanks

Yes, could be confusing; 3000/1.5 = 2000: 3000*1.5 =4500. But the principal is sound.

Either weight or volume would be suitable.

Different varnishes may have different densities depending on whether they are an oiul or water formulation and amount of pigments. Oil based would probably be a little under 1 kg/L (oil-based paint could be over because paint has much more pigment). Water-based would likely be slightly over 1 kg/L. You would have to measure it or get manufacturer's data to have any accuracy.

You have to know the density of the substance.

Water is about 1 kg/L, so 1 L. Things lighter than water, oil, gasoline, would be more than 1 L. Heavily pigmented paints and other things heavier than water would be less than 1 L. If you can find (or measure) the density of the substance, divide the mass by it.

Lets start with 1 metric ton of the 10.5% moisture wheat.
It is 105 kg water, and 895 kg of bone-dry wheat.

After moisture is added, it is still 895 kg of bone-dry wheat, but that is only 83.6% (100 - 16.4) of total mass. Total mass must be 895 kg/0.836 = 1070.6 kg, so 70.6 kg of water must have been added per metric ton.

[JohnS]

can someone help me by giving me the formula to convert Kg to Litres when it is Hydrogen for the Kg and petrol for the Litres.

The comparison is usually done on the basis of heating value. For an engine, the Lower Heating Value is the usual comparison. Figures vary, particularly lot to lot for gasoline. Using DoE typical figures:
1 kg H2 = 120.21 MJ/kg
and gasoline (petrol) 42.358 MJ/kg and 0.7476 kg/L (= 31.667 MJ/L)
Thus 1 kg H2 = 3.796 L gasoline, based on LHV equivalence.

I have a question about this converstion between litres and kilos.

I would like to know how i can convert the sf6 gas kilos to litre and vice versa.
As i understood one would need the density of the gas to do this.

witch is Gas
density
(20°C, 1 bar) 6.07 g/l
Liquid density (0°C, 12.65 bar) 1.56 kg/l
Solid density (–100°C)[13] 2.77 kg/l

got those figures from this pdf from the manufacturer.

Yes, you need to know the density. A natural fruit juice, or a concentrate diluted to natural strength will only be a little denser than water, 1 kg/L, almost certainly less than 1.1 kg/L. However, a concentrate, such as orange juice concentrate, will be appreciably denser, maybe 1.4 kg/L. If you need any accuracy you need to measure your particular batch.

Assuming you have density in kilograms per liter, just divide the kilograms by it.

Either the other site is useless, or you didn't get all their advice. Different liquids have different densities, or ratios of mass to volume. Gasoline is around 0.73 kg/L, water is 1 kg/L, a heavy sugar syrup or concentrated chemical solutions may be 1.4 kg/L or higher.

The conversion between liters and kilograms is variable and that conversion is called density. You either have to look it up in a reference or measure it. To look it up, it helps to know what liquid you are talking about.

10% of a 500 kg horse is 50 kg.

You need density of blood to convert to volume. Blood has slightly higher density than water (approx 1 kg/L). I've seen figures of 1.055 - 1.06 for human blood; I assume (but don't know) that horse blood is similar.

50 kg x 1 L/1.06 kg = 47 L

Can someone help me convert 3.2 kg of algal oil into liters?

[JohnS]

Can someone help me convert 3.2 kg of algal oil into liters?

You need to know the density. Most vegetable oils are about 0.92 kg/L; I will assume algal oil is similar, because I don't have any better figure.

3.2 kg x 1 L/0.92 kg = 3.5 L approx.

For any precision, measure the density, and divide by it.

Thanks in ADVANCE

At rated load, 750 kVA x 0.8 PF = 600 kW and fuel consumption is 600 kW x 210 g/kWh = 126 kg/h

I assume this runs on diesel. Fuel density can vary but 0.84 kg/L is a typical value for #2 diesel. 126 kg/h x 1 L/0.84 kg = 150 L/h.

If the generator is run at less than full load, the fuel consumption will be reduced.

I have found figures for density ranging from 1.01 to 1.4 kg/L. From Heinz nutritional info (data is rounded) I get around 1.1 kg/L.

Using that 4.5 kg x 1 L/1.1 kg = 4.1 L approx.
I am sure it is at least a little heavier than water, the question is how much.

Hi,

Given the litres spelling, the first question is US or Imperial gallons?
10.875 lb x 0.45359237 kg/lb = 4.932817 kg
Since you have 1 kg, you have 1/4.932817 of some kind of gallon, or 0.202 724 gallon.

If US gallon, 3.785411784 L/gal yields 0.76739 L
If Imperial gallon, 4.54609 L/gal yields 0.92160 L

The second question is WHY measure density in "english" units when the contents are specified in metric?

[Unregistered]

specific gravity is the density of the substance as compared to water. Water has a density of 1 kilogram/liter. So a specific gravity of 1.2104 means it has a density of 1.2104 kilogram/liter

using algebra we know whether to multiply or divide to make one of the units cancel out.

Kilograms / (kilogram/liter) = liter
liters * (kilogram/liter) = kilogram

so in your case, you divide:

390.2 kilograms / 1.2104 kilograms/liter = 322.3728 liters

whether you multiply or divide does not depend on if the specific gravity is above or below zero, it only depends on which direction you are going, from kilogram to liter or from liter to kilogram.

Density. Different things have differnt densities.

[Allan Parker]

You just need to divide the kilograms by 0.96 gm/cm*³ is the same as kg/l 1 gram = 0.001 kilogram 1 cubic centimeter = 0.001 liter gm/cm³ = 0.001 kg/ 0.001 liter = kg/liter So 0.96 kg/l means that 1 liter weighs 0.96 kilograms, or 1 kilogram is 1.04 liters.
