How many liters are in 1 kilogram of mineral spirits?

Answer

1 kilogram of mineral spirits takes
1.28 L

The density of mineral spirits is 0.78 kg/L (mineral spirits at 15 °C: low-flash 0.765, regular 0.780, high-flash 0.795).

How the volume of 1 kilogram of mineral spirits was worked out

volume = mass ÷ density

1 kg ÷ 0.78 kg/L

1.28 L

The density comes from WHO/IPCS EHC 187 · GOST 3134-78. Mineral spirits at 15 °C: low-flash 0.765, regular 0.780, high-flash 0.795.

The other way round: what a liter of this weighs

This page starts from a mass and answers in liters. The opposite question — how much a given volume weighs — is what the liters to kilograms calculator is for. Both read the same density table, so the two pages agree wherever the answer is volume times density.

For mineral spirits the density is 0.78 kg/L, so 1 kilogram takes 1.28 liters — and one liter of it weighs 0.78 kg.

About "Kilograms to Liters" Calculator

This calculator converts kilograms to liters through the density of the substance: volume equals mass divided by density. The heavier the substance, the less room the same kilogram takes — one kilogram of honey is 0.7 liters, while one kilogram of liquefied gas is almost two. For example, it can help you find out how many liters are in 1 kilogram of mineral spirits? (The answer is: 1.28). For bulk materials the answer is a range, and it is inverted against the weight page: the denser the packing, the smaller the volume of the same mass.

FAQ

How many liters are in 1 kilogram of mineral spirits?

1 kilogram of mineral spirits takes 1.28 L

How do you work out the volume of 1 kilogram of mineral spirits?

Volume equals mass divided by density. The density of mineral spirits is 0.78 kg/L and the mass is 1 kilogram, which gives 1.28 liters — the figure on this page is rounded, so dividing the two printed numbers can differ in the last digit.

How accurate is the density of mineral spirits?

The figure comes from WHO/IPCS EHC 187 · GOST 3134-78. Mineral spirits at 15 °C: low-flash 0.765, regular 0.780, high-flash 0.795.

And how much does 1 kilogram of mineral spirits weigh per liter?

That is the opposite question, and it has its own page: one liter of mineral spirits weighs 0.78 kg. This page starts from the mass and answers in liters; that one starts from the volume and answers in kilograms.
