Kilojoule per litre (kJ/L)
Joule per cubic metre (J/m³)

Conversion Formula

J/m³ = kJ/L × 1000000

About Kilojoule per litre

The kilojoule per litre (kJ/L) equals exactly 10⁶ J/m³ = 1 MJ/m³ (since 1 L = 10⁻³ m³). The preferred notation in fuel chemistry and food science for volumetric energy content. Gasoline ≈ 34.2 MJ/L, diesel ≈ 35.8 MJ/L, ethanol ≈ 23.4 MJ/L, LPG ≈ 25.5 MJ/L. 1 kJ/L = 1 MJ/m³ = 10⁶ J/m³.

About Joule per cubic metre

The joule per cubic metre (J/m³) is the SI coherent unit for energy density (and equivalently, pressure). It covers a wide range from gas combustion (natural gas ~38 MJ/m³) down to small reaction energies. Numerically equal to the pascal (Pa = N/m² = J/m³). Referenced in ISO 31-4. 1 J/m³ = 10⁻³ kJ/m³ = 1 Pa.
