How to convert mL to kg
kg = mL × density ÷ 1000water = 1 kg/L · reverse: mL = kg × 1000 ÷ density
- mL
- millilitres you enter
- kg
- result in kilograms
- density
- grams per mL for the chosen substance
This converts volume to weight; it only gives 1 litre = 1 kg for water and substances with a density near 1 g/mL.
