L/kgtom³/kg

Convert litres per kilogram (L/kg) to cubic metres per kilogram (m³/kg).

Factor1 L/kg = 0.001 m³/kg

Converter

L/kg

Accepts numbers or expressions, e.g. 150 + 14.7

Result
1m³/kg

Rendered to 6 significant figures.

Formula

Formula
m³/kg = L/kg × 0.001

Multiply any value in litres per kilogram by 0.001 to obtain the value in cubic metres per kilogram.

Worked example

Convert 1000 L/kg to m³/kg.

  1. 01Start with 1000 L/kg.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1000 × 0.001 = 1 m³/kg.
Result1000 L/kg = 1 m³/kg

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from L/kg to m³/kg?
1 L/kg equals 0.001 m³/kg. To convert, multiply the value in litres per kilogram by 0.001.
How do I convert 1 L/kg to m³/kg?
1 L/kg = 0.001 m³/kg. For any value, multiply by 0.001.
How do I convert m³/kg back to L/kg?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1000. So 1 m³/kg = 1000 L/kg.
When would I need to convert litre per kilogram to cubic metre per kilogram?
Specific-volume conversions between L/kg and m³/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).
