FAQ

What is the conversion factor from kg/dm³ to lb/gal (UK)?
1 kg/dm³ equals 10.02241 lb/gal (UK). To convert, multiply the value in kilograms per cubic decimetre by 10.02241.
How do I convert 1 kg/dm³ to lb/gal (UK)?
1 kg/dm³ = 10.0224 lb/gal (UK). For any value, multiply by 10.02241.
How do I convert lb/gal (UK) back to kg/dm³?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.09977637. So 1 lb/gal (UK) = 0.0997764 kg/dm³.
When would I need to convert kilogram per cubic decimetre to pound per imperial gallon?
Density conversions are critical for fluid property datasheets, hydraulic head calculations, and reconciling lab measurements (often g/cm³) with process simulator inputs (kg/m³).
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
