About US gallons per pound
The US gallon per pound (gal (US)/lb) equals 0.003785411784 / 0.45359237 ≈0.0083454 m³/kg, used in American chemical process engineering. Specific volume of cooling water and process fluids is cited in gal (US)/lb in pre-metric Perry's Chemical Engineers' Handbook tables. 1 gal (US)/lb ≈0.0083454 m³/kg ≈8.345 L/kg.
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.
