⚖️ mL → kg Converter
Translate milliliter volumes into mass (kilograms) based on density.
Great for recipe scaling, laboratory formulations, and fluid logistics where volume measurements need to be expressed as mass.
Pure water at ~4°C.
Kilograms: 1 kg
How to Use This Calculator
Enter volume
Type the volume in milliliters you want to convert.
Choose density
Select a preset material or provide a custom density in g/cc.
Read kilograms
Use the resulting mass for shipping labels, recipes, or lab worksheets.
Formula
Mass (g) = Volume (mL) × Density (g/cc)
Kilograms = Mass (g) ÷ 1,000
Use the formula breakdown to confirm the calculation logic or perform the conversion manually if needed.
Full Description
Volume-to-mass conversions hinge on density. This calculator makes it easy to convert milliliter measurements into kilograms for different liquids or slurries, ensuring accurate procurement, dosing, and logistics.
Preset densities cover common fluids. For other materials, enter a custom density measured in grams per cubic centimeter and the calculator will handle the math.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need density?
Density links volume to mass. Without it, there is no unique relationship between mL and kg.
Can I convert kg back to mL?
Yes. Use the inverse converter or divide kilograms by density (kg/L) to recover volume.
Does temperature matter?
Density changes with temperature. Use the density appropriate for your working temperature to stay accurate.
What if I only know density in kg/m³?
Convert kg/m³ to g/cc by dividing by 1,000. Then enter the value as a custom density.
