About Kilograms per litre
The kilogram per litre (kg/L) equals 1000 kg/m³, numerically identical to g/cm³ and t/m³, and preferred in industrial process engineering and chemical logistics. Dense liquids appear on safety data sheets in kg/L: sulfuric acid 1.84 kg/L, mercury 13.53 kg/L, bromine 3.10 kg/L. International bulk-liquid container certification requires density in kg/L. 1 kg/L = 1000 kg/m³ = 1 g/cm³ ≈8.345 lb/gal (US).
