FAQ

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