    How many liters are in 10 kilograms of cement?

    Answer

    10 kilograms of cement takes
    7.14–8 L

    The bulk density of cement is 1.25–1.4 kg/L, measured like this: dry fresh cement, loose bulk; not the true density of the grain. Note the range runs the other way here than on the weight page: denser packing means less volume for the same mass.

    How the volume of 10 kilograms of cement was worked out

    volume = mass ÷ density

    The density band gives two answers, and they swap places against the weight page: the lower volume comes from the upper density, because denser packing fits the same mass into less room.

    10 kg ÷ 1.4 kg/L

    ≈

    7.14 L

    dense packing

    10 kg ÷ 1.25 kg/L

    =

    8 L

    loose pour

    The density comes from FAO, Basic Materials for Construction. Dry fresh cement, loose bulk; not the true density of the grain.

    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 cement the density is 1.25–1.4 kg/L, so 10 kilograms takes 7.14–8 liters — and one liter of it weighs 1.25–1.4 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 10 kilograms of cement? (The answer is: 7.14–8). 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 10 kilograms of cement?

    10 kilograms of cement takes 7.14–8 L

    How do you work out the volume of 10 kilograms of cement?

    Volume equals mass divided by density. The density of cement is 1.25–1.4 kg/L and the mass is 10 kilograms, which gives 7.14–8 liters.

    Why is the range inverted here?

    Because volume is inversely proportional to density. The source gives a band of 1.25–1.4 kg/L, measured like this: dry fresh cement, loose bulk; not the true density of the grain. Dense packing means the same mass fits into less room, so the lower edge of the volume comes from the upper edge of the density.

    And how much does 10 kilograms of cement weigh per liter?

    That is the opposite question, and it has its own page: one liter of cement weighs 1.25–1.4 kg. This page starts from the mass and answers in liters; that one starts from the volume and answers in kilograms.
