FAQ
What is the conversion factor from ft³/lb to L/kg?
1 ft³/lb equals 62.42796 L/kg. To convert, multiply the value in cubic feet per pound by 62.42796.
How do I convert 1 ft³/lb to L/kg?
1 ft³/lb = 62.428 L/kg. For any value, multiply by 62.42796.
How do I convert L/kg back to ft³/lb?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.01601846. So 1 L/kg = 0.0160185 ft³/lb.
When would I need to convert cubic foot per pound to litre per kilogram?
Specific-volume conversions between ft³/lb and L/kg arise in steam-table lookups, compressible-flow analysis, and thermodynamic state-point work. Specific volume is the reciprocal of density and must not be confused with it — m³/kg and ft³/lb appear directly in property tables and equation-of-state solvers.
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).
