Gram per litre to Kilogram per cubic metre

Exact answer: 1 g/l = 1 kg/m³ (exact – SI decimal prefix)

Gram per litre and Kilogram per cubic metre both belong to the Density family. The difference is a decimal prefix, so the factor is a clean power of ten. Density links mass and volume and is the basis for material comparisons and mixing calculations.

Examples

010.5 g/l = 0.5 kg/m³

Example value from the reference table. Internal calculation uses stored factors; display output is rounded.

02Common mistake

Density depends on temperature, material state and measurement conditions. Unit conversion does not replace material data.

03Base unit: kg/m³

1 g/l = 1 kg/m³. Gram per litre is numerically identical to the base unit kg/m³, so the value is converted directly.
