KG to Liters Aviation Fuel

How KG to Liters Aviation Fuel Works?

KG to Liters Aviation Fuel works by dividing the mass of aviation fuel in kilograms (kg) by the density of aviation fuel in kilograms per liter (kg/L). The converter holds 6 fuel grades from 0.721 kg/L (avgas 100LL) to 0.808 kg/L (Jet A), and the default is avgas 100LL at 0.721 kg/L. The volume updates in real time as the weight changes.

5 steps to convert aviation fuel from kg to liters

1. Choose the direction: "kg → Liters" for mass to volume or "Liters → kg" for volume to mass.
2. Select 1 of 6 fuel grades: avgas 100LL, Jet A-1, Jet A, Jet B (wide-cut), JP-8 (military) and TS-1 (GOST).
3. Enter the weight in 1 of 7 mass units: kilograms (kg), grams (g), pounds (lb), ounces (oz), stone (st), tonnes (t) or milligrams (mg).
4. Set the liquid temperature: the converter corrects the density of avgas 100LL by 0.11% per °C (0.061% per °F) from 15 °C.
5. Read the volume in 1 of 13 volume units, including liters (L), milliliters (mL), US gallons (gal), UK gallons, US cups, cubic meters (m³) and oil barrels (bbl).

The converter changes the input to kilograms, divides the kilograms by the density and changes the liters to the selected output unit. The live container fills to the result, and the container row counts 20 L jerrycans, 208 L drums and 1,000 L IBC totes.

KG to Liters Aviation Fuel Formula

The KG to Liters Aviation Fuel formula is liters = kilograms ÷ 0.721, written as V = m ÷ ρ with ρ = 0.721 kg/L for avgas 100LL. The formula has 3 variables:

• V (volume) is the result in liters (L).
• m (mass) is the weight of aviation fuel in kilograms (kg).
• ρ (rho, density) is the mass of aviation fuel per unit volume in kilograms per liter (kg/L).

3 worked examples of the KG to Liters Aviation Fuel formula

1. 1 kg ÷ 0.721 kg/L = 1.387 L (0.37 US gal).
2. 1,000 kg ÷ 0.721 kg/L = 1,386.963 L (366.4 US gal).
3. 10,000 kg ÷ 0.721 kg/L = 13,869.626 L (3,663.97 US gal).

The reverse formula is kilograms = liters × 0.721: 1 L of avgas 100LL weighs 0.721 kg (721 g, 1.59 lb), and 1 US gallon weighs 2.73 kg (6.02 lb).

Temperature correction formula for avgas 100LL

The corrected density is ρ(T) = ρ15 ÷ (1 + β × (T − 15)), with β = 0.0011 per °C for avgas 100LL. Avgas 100LL at 35 °C (95 °F) weighs 0.705 kg/L, so 1,000 kg fills 1,417.48 L instead of 1,386.96 L at 15 °C.

KG to Liters Aviation Fuel Conversion Table

The KG to Liters Aviation Fuel conversion table lists the volume of avgas 100LL in liters (L), US gallons and UK gallons for 12 masses from 0.5 kg to 1,000 kg at 0.721 kg/L. A second table lists 1, 5, 10, 25 and 50 kg for all 6 fuel grades.

KG to Liters Aviation Fuel by fuel grade

1 liter equals 1,000 milliliters (mL), 0.264 US gallons, 0.220 UK gallons and 33.8 US fluid ounces (fl oz), so each value in the table converts to these units by multiplication.

What Is KG to Liters Aviation Fuel?

KG to Liters Aviation Fuel is a mass-to-volume conversion that turns the mass of aviation fuel in kilograms (kg) into the volume in liters (L), using the density of aviation fuel as the conversion factor.

Aviation fuel is fuel for aircraft engines, split into avgas (aviation gasoline) for piston engines and jet fuel (Jet A-1, Jet A, Jet B, JP-8 and TS-1) for turbine engines. Aviation fuels weigh 0.721–0.808 kg/L at 15 °C (59 °F).

• 1 kg of avgas 100LL fills 1.387 L (1,387 mL, 46.9 US fl oz).
• 1 L of avgas 100LL weighs 0.721 kg (721 g, 1.59 lb).
• Avgas 100LL is 27.9% lighter than water, so 1 kg of avgas 100LL fills 0.387 L more than 1 kg of water.

The International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) defines the kilogram (kg) as the SI base unit of mass, and the liter (L) equals 1 cubic decimeter (dm³), a unit accepted for use with the International System of Units (SI).

What Are the Uses of KG to Liters Aviation Fuel?

There are 4 main uses of KG to Liters Aviation Fuel: weight and balance, fuel uplift, military logistics and grade comparison.

• Weight and balance: Pilots convert fuel liters to kilograms for takeoff weight: 200 L of avgas weighs 144.2 kg (318 lb).
• Fuel uplift: Fueling crews deliver liters and flight plans need kilograms.
• Military logistics: JP-8 at 0.800 kg/L means 1,000 kg fills 1,250 L.
• Grade comparison: 1 kg of avgas fills 1.387 L, 0.143 L more than 1 kg of Jet A-1.
