How to convert Pounds per US gallon to kilograms per liter
Density connects mass and volume for a specified material and state. Specific gravity needs a reference density and is not directly treated as a density unit.
Use x for the value in lb/US gal, b for the intermediate value in kg/m³, and y for the result in kg/L.
kg/L = lb/US gal × 119.82642731689663 ÷ 1000
Worked examples
10 lb/US gal ≈ 1.19826427317 kg/L
Step 1: (10 × 119.826427317) ≈ 1198.26427317 kg/m³.
Step 2: 1198.26427317 ÷ 1000 ≈ 1.19826427317 kg/L.20 lb/US gal ≈ 2.39652854634 kg/L
Step 1: (20 × 119.826427317) ≈ 2396.52854634 kg/m³.
Step 2: 2396.52854634 ÷ 1000 ≈ 2.39652854634 kg/L.
Results are rounded to 12 significant digits. Converting units does not increase the precision of the original measurement. Very large or small values outside JavaScript’s finite numeric range are rejected.
About Pounds per US gallon
Pounds per US gallon (lb/US gal) measures density under the conventions above. The base value in kg/m³ is (x × 119.826427317), where x is the numerical value in lb/US gal. Factors shown here are rounded for display; calculations use the stored factor.
