Specific Volume Converter

Specific volume is a fundamental concept in physics and engineering that measures the volume occupied by a unit mass of a substance. It is an essential property in thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, helping us understand the behavior of various materials. To facilitate calculations and conversions involving specific volume, we present a comprehensive guide to our specific volume converter tool. This tool covers eight units commonly used in scientific and industrial applications.

  • Meter³ / kilogram (m³/kg): Cubic meters per kilogram is the standard unit of specific volume. It represents the volume occupied by one kilogram of a substance in cubic meters.
    Conversion Factor: 1 m³/kg = 1,000 cm³/g = 1,000 l/kg = 1 l/g = 16.02 ft³/lb = 119.83 gal/lb (US) = 99.78 gal/lb (UK)

  • Centimeter³ / gram (cm³/g): Cubic centimeters per gram represents the volume occupied by one gram of a substance in cubic centimeters.
    Conversion Factor: 1 cm³/g = 0.001 m³/kg = 1 l/kg 0.001 l/g = 0.016 ft³/lb = 0.1198 gal/lb (US) = 0.0998 gal/lb (UK)

  • Liter / kilogram (l/kg): Liter per kilogram represents the volume occupied by one kilogram of a substance in liters. It is equivalent to 1 cm³/g.
    Conversion Factor: 1 l/kg = 0.001 m³/kg = 1 cm³/g = 0.001 l/g = 0.016 ft³/lb = 0.1198 gal/lb (US) = 0.0998 gal/lb (UK)

  • Liter / gram (l/g): Liter per gram represents the volume occupied by one gram of a substance in liters. It is equivalent to 1 m³/kg.
    Conversion Factor: 1 l/g = 1 m³/kg = 1,000 cm³/g = 1,000 l/kg = 1 l/g = 16.02 ft³/lb = 119.83 gal/lb (US) = 99.78 gal/lb (UK)

  • Foot³ / kilogram (ft³/kg): Cubic feet per kilogram represents the volume occupied by one kilogram of a substance in cubic feet.
    Conversion Factor: 1 ft³/kg = 0.0283 m³/kg = 28.3 cm³/g = 0.4536 ft³/lb = 3.3931 gal/lb (US) = 2.8254 gal/lb (UK)

  • Foot³ / pound (ft³/lb): Cubic feet per pound represents the volume occupied by one pound of a substance in cubic feet.
    Conversion Factor: 1 ft³/lb = 7.4805 gal/lb (US) = 6.2288 gal/lb (UK) = 0.0624 m³/kg = 62.4 cm³/g

  • Gallon / pound (US) (gal/lb): U.S. gallons per pound represents the volume occupied by one pound of a substance in U.S. gallons.
    Conversion Factor: 1 gal/lb (US) = 0.8327 gal/lb (UK) = 0.1337 ft³/lb = 0.0083 m³/kg = 8.35 cm³/g

  • Gallon / pound (UK) (gal/lb): U.K. gallons per pound represents the volume occupied by one pound of a substance in Imperial gallons.
    Conversion Factor: 1 gal/lb (UK) = 1.2 gal/lb (US) = 0.16 ft³/lb = 0.01 m³/kg = 10 cm³/g
