💧 Liters → Pounds Calculator
Estimate fluid weight from tank or recipe volumes.
Great for brewers, chemists, and chefs who need to translate liquid volumes into shipping or nutritional weights.
Pure water at ~4°C.
Pounds: 22.046 lb
Kilograms: 10 kg
Grams: 10,000 g
How to Use This Calculator
Enter liters
Provide the fluid quantity in liters.
Select density
Choose a preset or supply your own density in grams per cubic centimeter.
Use weight outputs
Get pounds, kilograms, and grams for logistics or nutritional analysis.
Formula
Volume (cc) = Liters × 1,000
Mass (g) = Volume (cc) × Density (g/cc)
Pounds = Mass (g) ÷ 453.59237
Kilograms = Mass (g) ÷ 1,000
Use the formula breakdown to confirm the calculation logic or perform the conversion manually if needed.
Full Description
Liquids are often inventoried by volume, while shipping, dosing, and labeling require weight. This calculator applies density to bridge the gap, supporting both standard fluids (water, milk, oil) and custom mixtures.
Additional outputs in kilograms and grams keep your records consistent with SI standards and recipe calculations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I convert pounds back to liters?
Use the pounds-to-liters conversion (mass-to-volume) with the same density value.
Does density change with temperature?
Yes. Use the density measured at your operating temperature for accurate weights.
Does it handle solids?
Yes, as long as you know the bulk density in g/cc.
Are Imperial gallons supported?
This tool works with liters. Convert to liters first if you start with Imperial volumes.
