Convert kilograms of sunflower oil to liters and back. Uses a typical density of 0.920 kg/L at 20 °C, with temperature correction.
How KG to Liter Sunflower Oil Works?
KG to Liter Sunflower Oil works by dividing the mass of sunflower oil in kilograms (kg) by the density of sunflower oil in kilograms per liter (kg/L). Sunflower oil has a density of 0.920 kg/L at 20 °C (68 °F). The volume updates in real time as the weight changes.

5 kg of sunflower oil ÷ 0.920 kg/L = 5.43 L (1.44 US gallons, 1.2 UK gallons).
4 steps to convert sunflower oil from kg to liters
Choose the direction: "kg → Liters" for mass to volume or "Liters → kg" for volume to mass.
Enter the weight in 1 of 7 mass units: kilograms (kg), grams (g), pounds (lb), ounces (oz), stone (st), tonnes (t) or milligrams (mg).
Set the liquid temperature: the converter corrects the density of sunflower oil by 0.072% per °C (0.04% per °F) from 20 °C.
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 Liter Sunflower Oil Formula
The KG to Liter Sunflower Oil formula is liters = kilograms ÷ 0.920, written as V = m ÷ ρ with ρ = 0.920 kg/L for sunflower oil. The formula has 3 variables:
V (volume) is the result in liters (L).
m (mass) is the weight of sunflower oil in kilograms (kg).
ρ (rho, density) is the mass of sunflower oil per unit volume in kilograms per liter (kg/L).
VolumeV = m ÷ 0.920
Massm = V × 0.920
Densityρ = m ÷ V

3 worked examples of the KG to Liter Sunflower Oil formula
1 kg ÷ 0.920 kg/L = 1.087 L (0.29 US gal).
5 kg ÷ 0.920 kg/L = 5.435 L (1.44 US gal).
100 kg ÷ 0.920 kg/L = 108.696 L (28.71 US gal).
The reverse formula is kilograms = liters × 0.920: 1 L of sunflower 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 sunflower oil
The corrected density is ρ(T) = ρ20 ÷ (1 + β × (T − 20)), with β = 0.00072 per °C for sunflower oil. Sunflower 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.

Liters in 1 kg of 10 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 Liter Sunflower Oil?
KG to Liter Sunflower Oil is a mass-to-volume conversion that turns the mass of sunflower oil in kilograms (kg) into the volume in liters (L), using the density of sunflower oil as the conversion factor.
Sunflower oil is a light edible oil pressed from the seeds of the sunflower plant (Helianthus annuus). Refined sunflower oil weighs 0.920 kg/L at 20 °C (68 °F) and stays liquid down to −17 °C (1.4 °F).
1 kg of sunflower oil fills 1.087 L (1,087 mL, 36.8 US fl oz).
1 L of sunflower oil weighs 0.920 kg (920 g, 2.03 lb).
Sunflower oil is 8% lighter than water, so 1 kg of sunflower oil fills 0.087 L more than 1 kg of water.
