Formula

Formula
L/kg = m³/kg × 1000

Multiply any value in cubic metres per kilogram by 1000 to obtain the value in litres per kilogram.

Worked example

Convert 1 m³/kg to L/kg.

  1. 01Start with 1 m³/kg.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 1000 = 1000 L/kg.
Result1 m³/kg = 1000 L/kg

FAQ

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