How to convert litres to kg?
Hi,
how much kg is 4 litres? How am i suppose to convert from litres to kg?
And what it means by 0.001 cubic metre * 1000kg/m^3 = 1kg ?

0.001 cubic metre * 1000kg per cubic metre = 0.001 * 1000 * cubic metre * kg / cubic metre = 1kg

sorry. What if is 4 litres of tomato sauce in a bottle?
Then you need to know how much 1 (or in your formula 1000) litres of the substance weights
That is the "1000kg/m^3", that should be changed to the correct value of tomato sauce.

Then ..
That would be 4 litres of tomato sauce as a volume.
Make sense?

It depends how thick the tomato sauce is.
It would probably be a little more than the density of water, but bottles of tomato sauce should be labeled with its net weight.

Density is the word!

ozo: So can i say that my one bottle is 4 litres of tomato sauce is equivalent to 4kg?
ASKER
It is a little more than density of water. That's for sure!
So ..
From tomato sauce 101:

you want to taste the tomato sauce for density, you don't want it too think or too thin.
Right?

One reference shows 1.05 kg/litre for tomato sauce in one food processing step

uucknaaa: not that i want to test tomato sauce but i just want to know how much is 4litres of tomato sauce in a bottle if convert to kg.
If you want to know how much 4 litres of tomato souce is in kilograms, you need to know it's density.
You need to know its kilogram to litre ratio else you can't calculate it.

oh ok. i just want it approximately. Thanks
One standard seems to be
Medium, 10% NTSS, 1.045 Specific Gravity
Heavy, 13% NTSS, 1.06 Specific Gravity
Extra Heavy, 15% NTSS, 1.7 Specific Gravity
(I think that proably should have been 1.07)
much beyond that and it's more of a tomato paste.
much less than that and its tomato juice

oic. So you mean if 1.07 Specific gravity, 15% NTSS(stands for?) is more of a tomato paste?
Natural Tomato Soluble Solids
The USDA specifies that tomato puree must contain 8% to 23.9% NTSS, the paste must contain minimum of 24% NTSS.
Sauce may contain other seasonings and flavors. but I'd still guess that the density would be similar to puree.
Your spelling suggests that your sauce may not be covered by the USDA, but USDA standards are what I was able to find on the internet, and again, I'm guessing that standards in other countries may be similar.

4 litres of water would be about 4 kg
4 litres of mercury would be about 54kg
