Conversion Formula
L/kg = m³/kg × 1000
About Cubic metres per kilogram
The cubic metre per kilogram (m³/kg) is the SI coherent derived unit of specific volume - the reciprocal of density. In steam and refrigerant thermodynamics, m³/kg appears in state tables: water at 100°C, 0.1 MPa has specific volume 1.674 m³/kg (vapour) and 1.044 × 10⁻³ m³/kg (liquid). The specific gas constant and molar volume calculations use m³/kg. 1 m³/kg = 1000 L/kg = 1000 cm³/g.
About Litres per kilogram
The litre per kilogram (L/kg) equals 10⁻³ m³/kg, coincidentally equal to cm³/g. Process engineers prefer L/kg when working with liquids: specific volume of liquid oxygen at −183°C = 0.876 L/kg; liquid hydrogen = 14.1 L/kg. HVAC refrigerant datasheets and cryogenic transfer calculations typically give specific volume in L/kg. 1 L/kg = 10⁻³ m³/kg = 1 cm³/g.
