kilogram per cubic meter to kilogram per liter
Convert kilogram per cubic meter (kg/m³) to kilogram per liter (kg/L). Use an editable density converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 kg/m³ = 0.001 kg/L
Conversion formula
One kilogram per cubic meter equals 0.001 kilogram per liter. Multiply your value in kilogram per cubic meter by this factor to get kilogram per liter. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 kilogram per cubic meter:5 × 0.001 = 0.005 kg/L

About these measurements
Density is mass per unit volume.
The base reference used here is the kilogram per cubic meter. One kilogram per cubic meter is 1 base units; one kilogram per liter is 1,000 base units.
Important distinctions
Compound units must match the quantity and dimension. Temperature intervals use size factors rather than temperature offsets. Calorie and BTU entries use the explicit definitions shown.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
Common questions
How do I convert kg/m³ to kg/L?
Multiply the quantity in kg/m³ by 0.001. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
