Milliliters (ml) to Kilograms (kg) Converter
Convert volume (ml) to mass (kg) using density. Includes a large database of culinary ingredients and industrial liquids.
About
Converting milliliters (ml) to kilograms (kg) is not a direct one-to-one calculation like converting meters to centimeters. It depends entirely on the density of the substance. While 1000 ml of water weighs exactly 1 kg, 1000 ml of Gold would weigh 19.3 kg, and 1000 ml of Gasoline would weigh only 0.74 kg.
This tool is essential for chefs scaling recipes, logistics managers calculating shipping weights of liquid cargo, and chemists preparing solutions. It eliminates the guesswork by providing a pre-filled density database for common household ingredients and industrial fluids. You can also enter a custom density if your specific material is not listed.
Formulas
Mass is calculated by multiplying volume by density. Since the standard unit for density is often grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) or grams per milliliter (g/ml), we must divide by 1000 to get kilograms.
Note: 1 ml = 1 cm3.
