FAQ

What is the conversion factor from gal/lb (US) to L/kg?
1 gal/lb (US) equals 8.345404 L/kg. To convert, multiply the value in US gallons per pound by 8.345404.
How do I convert 1 gal/lb (US) to L/kg?
1 gal/lb (US) = 8.3454 L/kg. For any value, multiply by 8.345404.
How do I convert L/kg back to gal/lb (US)?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.1198264. So 1 L/kg = 0.119826 gal/lb (US).
When would I need to convert US gallon per pound to litre per kilogram?
Specific-volume conversions between gal/lb (US) 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).
