Convert Litres per kilogram to Cubic metres per gram
Convert Litres per kilogram (L/kg) to Cubic metres per gram (m³/g) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
m³/g = L/kg × 1.000000000e-6
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.
About Cubic metres per gram
The cubic metre per gram (m³/g) equals 1000 m³/kg, used for ultra-low-density media. Highly porous aerogels achieve apparent specific volumes of 0.5-10 m³/g; bulk activated-carbon specific volumes reach 1-3 m³/g per BET surface measurements. Atmospheric aerosol specific volume and trace-gas concentration calculations also employ m³/g. 1 m³/g = 1000 m³/kg = 10⁶ cm³/g.
