KG to Liters Edible Oil

How KG to Liters Edible Oil Works?

KG to Liters Edible Oil works by dividing the mass of edible oil in kilograms (kg) by the density of edible oil in kilograms per liter (kg/L). The converter holds 10 oils from 0.891 kg/L (palm oil) to 0.922 kg/L (cottonseed oil), and the default is refined cooking oil at 0.920 kg/L. The volume updates in real time as the weight changes.

5 steps to convert edible oil 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 10 oils: refined cooking oil, sunflower oil, soybean oil, canola / rapeseed oil, rice bran oil, sesame oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, olive oil and palm oil.
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 refined cooking oil by 0.072% per °C (0.04% per °F) from 20 °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 1 L bottles, 5 L cans and 15 L tins.

KG to Liters Edible Oil Formula

The KG to Liters Edible Oil formula is liters = kilograms ÷ 0.920, written as V = m ÷ ρ with ρ = 0.920 kg/L for refined cooking oil. The formula has 3 variables:

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

3 worked examples of the KG to Liters Edible Oil formula

1. 1 kg ÷ 0.920 kg/L = 1.087 L (0.29 US gal).
2. 15 kg ÷ 0.920 kg/L = 16.304 L (4.31 US gal).
3. 100 kg ÷ 0.920 kg/L = 108.696 L (28.71 US gal).

The reverse formula is kilograms = liters × 0.920: 1 L of refined cooking oil weighs 0.920 kg (920 g, 2.03 lb), and 1 US gallon weighs 3.48 kg (7.68 lb).

Temperature correction formula for refined cooking oil

The corrected density is ρ(T) = ρ20 ÷ (1 + β × (T − 20)), with β = 0.00072 per °C for refined cooking oil. Refined cooking oil at 40 °C (104 °F) weighs 0.907 kg/L, so 1,000 kg fills 1,102.61 L instead of 1,086.96 L at 20 °C.

KG to Liters Edible Oil Conversion Table

The KG to Liters Edible Oil conversion table lists the volume of refined cooking oil in liters (L), US gallons and UK gallons for 12 masses from 0.5 kg to 1,000 kg at 0.920 kg/L. A second table lists 1, 5, 10, 25 and 50 kg for all 10 oils.

KG to Liters Edible Oil by oil

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 Edible Oil?

KG to Liters Edible Oil is a mass-to-volume conversion that turns the mass of edible oil in kilograms (kg) into the volume in liters (L), using the density of edible oil as the conversion factor.

Edible oil is any plant oil sold for cooking, including sunflower, soybean, canola, rice bran, sesame, corn, cottonseed, olive and palm oil. Edible oils weigh 0.891–0.922 kg/L at 20 °C (68 °F).

• 1 kg of refined cooking oil fills 1.087 L (1,087 mL, 36.8 US fl oz).
• 1 L of refined cooking oil weighs 0.920 kg (920 g, 2.03 lb).
• Refined cooking oil is 8% lighter than water, so 1 kg of refined cooking oil fills 0.087 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 Edible Oil?

There are 4 main uses of KG to Liters Edible Oil: retail labels, restaurant purchasing, import and export and nutrition labeling.

• Retail labels: A 15 kg edible oil tin holds 16.30 L of sunflower oil and 16.39 L of canola oil.
• Restaurant purchasing: Kitchens compare oils by price per liter: canola oil at $1.80 per kg equals $1.65 per liter.
• Import and export: Edible oil ships in tonnes and stores in liters: 20 t of soybean oil fills 21.8 m³.
• Nutrition labeling: Labels list fat per 100 mL or per 100 g: 100 mL of olive oil weighs 91.3 g.
