How to Convert Gram per Cubic Centimeter to Kilogram per Liter
- 1 g/cm³ = 1 kg/L
- 1 kg/L = 1 g/cm³
- Example: convert 15 g/cm³ to kg/L: 15 g/cm³ = 15 × 1 kg/L = 15 kg/L
Formula
kg/L = g/cm³ × 1
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 g/cm³ = 10⁻³ kg ÷ 10⁻⁶ m³ = 1000 kg/m³
- 1 kg/L = 1 kg ÷ 10⁻³ m³ = 1000 kg/m³ = 1 g/cm³
- 1 g/cm³ = 1000 kg/m³ ÷ 1000 kg/m³ per kg/L = 1 kg/L
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Gram per Cubic Centimeter definition: gram per cubic centimeter; Kilogram per Liter definition: kilogram per liter.
Worked examples
- A reading of 1.05 g/cm³ converts to 1.05 kg/L.
1.05 g/cm³ × 1 = 1.05 kg/L - A value of 4.5 g/cm³ is 4.5 kg/L.
4.5 g/cm³ × 1 = 4.5 kg/L

Where it's used
Grams per Cubic Centimeter are used for material and mineral densities, while kilograms per liter appear in fuel densities (petrol ≈ 0.74 kg/L, diesel ≈ 0.84 kg/L). Both measure density (mass per unit volume) and mass concentration, so the conversion is a fixed factor.
