KG to Liters Rice

How KG to Liters Rice Works?

KG to Liters Rice works by dividing the mass of rice in kilograms (kg) by the bulk density of rice in kilograms per liter (kg/L). The converter holds 4 rice types from 0.660 kg/L (cooked rice) to 0.800 kg/L (white rice (uncooked)), and the default is white rice (uncooked) at 0.800 kg/L. The volume updates in real time as the weight changes.

4 steps to convert rice 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 4 rice types: white rice (uncooked), basmati rice, brown rice and cooked rice.
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. 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 bulk density and changes the liters to the selected output unit. The live container fills to the result, and the container row counts US cups (237 mL), 1 kg bags and 5 kg bags.

KG to Liters Rice Formula

The KG to Liters Rice formula is liters = kilograms ÷ 0.800, written as V = m ÷ ρ with ρ = 0.800 kg/L for white rice (uncooked). The formula has 3 variables:

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

3 worked examples of the KG to Liters Rice formula

1. 1 kg ÷ 0.800 kg/L = 1.25 L (0.33 US gal).
2. 5 kg ÷ 0.800 kg/L = 6.25 L (1.65 US gal).
3. 100 kg ÷ 0.800 kg/L = 125 L (33.02 US gal).

The reverse formula is kilograms = liters × 0.800: 1 L of white rice (uncooked) weighs 0.800 kg (800 g, 1.76 lb), and 1 US gallon weighs 3.03 kg (6.68 lb).

Bulk density of rice

Bulk density includes the air between grains or particles, so rice weighs less per liter than the solid material. Tapping, packing or moisture raises the bulk density of rice by 10–20%, and 1 kg of packed rice fills 80–90% of the poured volume.

KG to Liters Rice Conversion Table

The KG to Liters Rice conversion table lists the volume of white rice (uncooked) in liters (L), US gallons and UK gallons for 12 masses from 0.5 kg to 1,000 kg at 0.800 kg/L. A second table lists 1, 5, 10, 25 and 50 kg for all 4 rice types.

KG to Liters Rice by rice

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 Rice?

KG to Liters Rice is a mass-to-volume conversion that turns the mass of rice in kilograms (kg) into the volume in liters (L), using the bulk density of rice as the conversion factor.

Rice is the grain of the rice plant (Oryza sativa). Uncooked white rice has a bulk density of 0.80 kg/L, basmati rice 0.76 kg/L and cooked rice 0.66 kg/L, as air fills the gaps between grains.

• 1 kg of white rice (uncooked) fills 1.250 L (1,250 mL, 42.3 US fl oz).
• 1 L of white rice (uncooked) weighs 0.800 kg (800 g, 1.76 lb).
• White rice (uncooked) is 20% lighter than water, so 1 kg of white rice (uncooked) fills 0.250 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 Rice?

There are 4 main uses of KG to Liters Rice: cooking measures, storage containers, meal planning and food bank packing.

• Cooking measures: 1 US cup (237 mL) of uncooked white rice weighs 189 g.
• Storage containers: A 5 kg bag of white rice fills 6.25 L, and a 10 L bin holds 8 kg.
• Meal planning: Kitchens weigh rice and measure cups: 1 kg of basmati rice fills 1.32 L.
• Food bank packing: Food banks pack rice by weight and store rice by bin volume.
