Definition of kilograms:
One kilogram is the same as 1,000 grams, 2.204623 pounds, or one-thousandth of a metric ton.
In 2019, the official definition of a kilogram changed. Before that, it was based on the weight of a special platinum-iridium metal block called the International Prototype of the Kilogram, which was kept in Sèvres, France.
Kilogram or kilogramme is the standard unit of mass in the SI (International System of Units) and it is equal to 1,000 grams. In the metric system, "kilo" means a thousand. The abbreviation of Kilograms is "kg", for example, 1 kilogram is written as 1 kg.
Definition of Liter
A liter is a unit of volume that equals 1,000 cubic centimeters or about 0.264172 US gallons. It is the same as the volume of one cubic decimeter (which is 10 centimeters by 10 centimeters by 10 centimeters).
The liter is an SI unit of volume used with the metric system. It is also spelled "litre" in some regions. The abbreviation of liter is "L", but it can also be written as "l" or "ℓ". For example, 1 liter can be written as 1 L, 1 l, or 1 ℓ.
How to Convert Kilograms to Liters
To convert measurement from kg to liters you have to know the density of the substance for which you want to make conversions. Density of the substance is an important factor because kilograms measure mass, while liters measure volume.
Formula:
Liters = Kilograms ÷ Density (kg/L)
Every material has a different density. For example:
- Water = 1 kg/L
- Milk ≈ 1.03 kg/L
- Oil ≈ 0.92 kg/L
Example:
What is 15 kg in litres for a substance which has a density of 1 kg/l? By using the above formula we will solve this example:
Liters = 15 ÷ 1 (kg/l)
15 kg of substance with density 1 kg/l is equal to 15 liters.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is kilogram equal to liter?
A: No, a kilogram is not equal to a liter, they are units for different types of measurements:
- Kilogram (kg) is a unit of mass (how much matter something contains).
- Liter (L) is a unit of volume (how much space something occupies).
However, for substances which have density 1kg/l kilogram is equal to a liter for that substance.
Q: Can I convert liters to kilograms too?
A: You can convert liters to kg with the help of our L To KG converter. Or you can simply use the inverse of the formula to make liters to kilograms conversion.
Mass (kg) = Volume (L) × Density (kg/L)
Q: What’s a typical use case of this kg to liters converter?
A: It's useful in:
- Cooking (e.g., converting kg of oil to liters)
