How many liters are in 5 kilograms of vegetable oil?

Answer

5 kilograms of vegetable oil takes

5.43 L

The density of vegetable oil is 0.92 kg/L (at 15.6–20 °C; peanut 0.914, olive 0.918, corn 0.922, soybean 0.927).

How the volume of 5 kilograms of vegetable oil was worked out

volume = mass ÷ density

5 kg ÷ 0.92 kg/L

≈

5.43 L

The density comes from FAO/INFOODS Density Database v2.0. At 15.6–20 °C; peanut 0.914, olive 0.918, corn 0.922, soybean 0.927.

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 vegetable oil the density is 0.92 kg/L, so 5 kilograms takes 5.43 liters — and one liter of it weighs 0.92 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 5 kilograms of vegetable oil? (The answer is: 5.43). 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.
