💧 kg → mL Converter
Express kilogram masses as volumes in milliliters.
Perfect for lab technicians, baristas, and process engineers who weigh ingredients but dispense by volume.
Pure water at ~4°C.
Milliliters: 2,500 mL
Liters: 2.5 L
Cups: 10.57
How to Use This Calculator
Enter kilograms
Provide the mass in kilograms from your scale.
Select density
Pick a preset substance or enter a custom density in g/cc.
Read milliliters
Use the volume outputs for dispensing or storage planning.
Formula
Mass (g) = Kilograms × 1,000
Volume (cc) = Mass (g) ÷ Density (g/cc)
Milliliters = Volume (cc)
Cups = Milliliters ÷ 236.588
Use the formula breakdown to confirm the calculation logic or perform the conversion manually if needed.
Full Description
Many recipes and industrial processes weigh ingredients for accuracy but measure out by volume. This calculator uses density to convert those kilogram measurements into milliliters you can pour or pump.
It includes liters and cups for quick context—useful when scaling batches or communicating with teams that prefer culinary units.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need density?
Density links mass and volume. Without it, there’s no direct conversion between kilograms and milliliters.
Can I convert mL back to kg?
Yes. Multiply milliliters by density (g/mL) and divide by 1,000 to return to kilograms.
What if density changes with temperature?
Use the density measured at your operating temperature for accurate results.
Does it work for solids?
Yes, as long as you know the bulk density in grams per cubic centimeter.
