KG To Liters

KG to Liters Hydraulic Oil

Convert kilograms of hydraulic oil to liters. ISO VG 46 hydraulic oil weighs 0.870 kg per liter at 15 °C, so 1 kg fills 1.149 L.

How KG to Liters Hydraulic Oil Works?

KG to Liters Hydraulic Oil works by dividing the mass of hydraulic oil in kilograms (kg) by the density of hydraulic oil in kilograms per liter (kg/L). Hydraulic oil has a density of 0.870 kg/L at 15 °C (59 °F). The volume updates in real time as the weight changes.

Mass20 kg
÷ Density0.870 kg/L
Volume22.99 L
20 kg of hydraulic oil ÷ 0.870 kg/L = 22.99 L (6.07 US gallons, 5.06 UK gallons).

4 steps to convert hydraulic oil from kg to liters

  1. Choose the direction: "kg → Liters" for mass to volume or "Liters → kg" for volume to mass.
  2. Enter the weight in 1 of 7 mass units: kilograms (kg), grams (g), pounds (lb), ounces (oz), stone (st), tonnes (t) or milligrams (mg).
  3. Set the liquid temperature: the converter corrects the density of hydraulic oil by 0.07% per °C (0.039% per °F) from 15 °C.
  4. 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 jugs and 20 L pails.

KG to Liters Hydraulic Oil Formula

The KG to Liters Hydraulic Oil formula is liters = kilograms ÷ 0.870, written as V = m ÷ ρ with ρ = 0.870 kg/L for hydraulic oil. The formula has 3 variables:

  • V (volume) is the result in liters (L).
  • m (mass) is the weight of hydraulic oil in kilograms (kg).
  • ρ (rho, density) is the mass of hydraulic oil per unit volume in kilograms per liter (kg/L).
m ρ V
VolumeV = m ÷ 0.870
Massm = V × 0.870
Densityρ = m ÷ V

3 worked examples of the KG to Liters Hydraulic Oil formula

  1. 1 kg ÷ 0.870 kg/L = 1.149 L (0.3 US gal).
  2. 20 kg ÷ 0.870 kg/L = 22.989 L (6.07 US gal).
  3. 100 kg ÷ 0.870 kg/L = 114.943 L (30.36 US gal).

The reverse formula is kilograms = liters × 0.870: 1 L of hydraulic oil weighs 0.870 kg (870 g, 1.92 lb), and 1 US gallon weighs 3.29 kg (7.26 lb).

Temperature correction formula for hydraulic oil

The corrected density is ρ(T) = ρ15 ÷ (1 + β × (T − 15)), with β = 0.0007 per °C for hydraulic oil. Hydraulic oil at 35 °C (95 °F) weighs 0.858 kg/L, so 1,000 kg fills 1,165.52 L instead of 1,149.43 L at 15 °C.

Liters in 1 kg of 5 substances. Bars longer than water mark substances lighter than water.

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 Hydraulic Oil?

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

Hydraulic oil is a mineral or synthetic oil that transmits power in hydraulic systems. ISO VG 32, 46 and 68 hydraulic oils weigh 0.86–0.88 kg/L at 15 °C (59 °F), with a typical value of 0.870 kg/L.

  • 1 kg of hydraulic oil fills 1.149 L (1,149 mL, 38.9 US fl oz).
  • 1 L of hydraulic oil weighs 0.870 kg (870 g, 1.92 lb).
  • Hydraulic oil is 13% lighter than water, so 1 kg of hydraulic oil fills 0.149 L more than 1 kg of water.
Hydraulic Oil1.15 L
Water1.00 L
Engine Oil1.14 L
Gear Oil1.12 L
1 kg of 4 substances fills 4 different volumes.

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).
