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.
