Throughout this website we use the American spelling variant liter, as opposed to litre, the international writing.
Along the same lines we use kilogram, instead of kilogramme.
The liter is a unit of volume; the unit symbol is l or L, but you sometimes come across the abbreviation ltr.
In turn, the kilogram is the International System of Unit’s base unit of mass; the symbol is kg.

Liters to Kilograms
The link between the quantity volume (V) and the property mass (m) is called density.The volumetric mass density D is defined as the quotient m / V, which, for a given substance, varies depending on temperature and pressure conditions.
On top of that, different materials generally have different densities.
Because liters to kilograms is a volume to mass conversion, the substance-specific density connects the mass and volume, in function of pressure and temperature, as can be seen in the formula below.
How to Convert Liter to Kg
We employ the formula m = D × V.For water at sea level at 39.2 Fahrenheit D = 1, so m = V.
In this case one liter of water equals one kilogram.
Liter to Kg Formula
For cooking water, the approximation kg ~ L most likely is good enough.
But what about milk, sugar, flour etc?
In this case, you substitute D in the ltr to kg formula with the particular density, or make use of our converters above.
For our converter, the value for D and the corresponding unit is needed.
Frequent conversions include, for example: Ahead you can find the related FAQs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can we convert liter to kg?

Does a litre weigh 1 kg?
Yes – For water as a rough approximation
How heavy is a 1 liter?
It depends on the density of the material
How many kg is 1 litre of milk?
1 L milk ≈ 1.04 kg (Supposed D = 1.04 g/ml)

1 L oil ≈ 0.88 kg (Assumed D = 0.88 g/ml)
Is 1 kg more than 1 litre?
1 kg can be more, less or equal to 1 litre depending on the density of the ingredient
