Kiloliter in a liter

Answer 1

I encountered this dilemma when I wanted to buy some jars for dry food (flour, sugar, etc) and plastic storage boxes were generally sold in litres.

I found the easiest way to convert measurements was to weigh an amount of a given foodstuff, pour it into a measuring jug, smooth over the surface and read the measurement of the side of the

jug.

I weighed 250g of the following foods I had and they came to the following quantities in litres:

Caster sugar - 300ml

Self raising flour - 450ml

Basmati rice -300ml

Green lentils - 500ml

Puy lentils - 300ml

Couscous - 300ml

Oats - 600ml

I then scaled up to however much of each foodstuff I had, e.g. I had 1kg bag of flour, so I then knew I needed a jar with a minimum capacity of1800ml to fit it all in.

I found that different types of some foodstuffs general (e.g. self raising and plain flour) have roughly the same density, but others (e.g. lentils) had a bit of variation.

It is an almighty faff and makes a bit of a mess (I did it one afternoon when I was snowed in and couldn't do a lot else!) but is probably the most accurate you are going to get.

That depends on the specific weight of the material.

1 cubic metre of pure water is equivalent to 1,000 litres exactly.

A cubic metre of pure water at the temperature of maximum density (3.98 °C) and standard atmospheric pressure (101.325 kPa) has a mass of 1000 kg, or one tonne.

Only 1 litre of pure water weighs 1 kilogram.

Answer 2

1 liter = 0.001 kiloliter

1 kiloliter = 1,000 liters
