How do I convert kg to mL?
Type the kilograms and the density, and the milliliters show as you type. Water is 1 kg per liter. Fill any two of kg, density, and mL to find the third.
- Milliliters (mL)
- 1,000
1 kg = 1,000 mL.
Milliliters (mL): 1,000. 1 kg = 1,000 mL.
Milliliters (mL) by kilograms (kg)
How to calculate
Converts kg to mL and back: mL = kg × 1,000 ÷ density (kg/L).
Worked examples
Each example is checked against the calculator on every build.
- Kilograms (kg) 1, Density (kg/L) 1 gives Milliliters (mL) 1,000.Source: NIST SP 811 (2008), Appendix B.8: 1 L = 0.001 m³
- Kilograms (kg) 0.5, Density (kg/L) 1.25 gives Milliliters (mL) 400.Source: NIST SP 811 (2008), Appendix B.8: 1 L = 0.001 m³
- Kilograms (kg) 1, Density (kg/L) 0.92 gives Milliliters (mL) 1,086.956522.Source: NIST SP 811 (2008), Appendix B.8: 1 L = 0.001 m³
Other questions people ask
How do I convert kg to mL?
Divide the kilograms by the density in kg/L, then multiply by 1,000: mL = kg × 1,000 ÷ density. 0.5 kg of a liquid at 1.25 kg/L is 0.5 × 1,000 ÷ 1.25 = 400 mL.
How many mL is 1 kg?
1,000 mL for water, which weighs 1 kg per liter. For olive oil at about 0.91 kg/L, 1 kg is about 1,099 mL.
Why do I need the density?
A kilogram measures weight and a milliliter measures volume. A liter of honey weighs more than a liter of oil, so the same weight fills a different volume.
What density should I use?
Water is 1 kg/L. From USDA cup weights (kg/L = grams per cup ÷ 236.5882365): whole milk about 1.03, olive oil about 0.91, and honey about 1.43. A label or a data sheet gives the exact density of other liquids.
Is 1 kg of water exactly 1 liter?
Almost. Pure water is 0.999975 kg/L at 4 °C and 0.998207 kg/L at 20 °C (Tanaka et al. 2001). 1 kg/L is the round value recipes and labels use.
