How many liters is 1 lb of milk?
How many liters is 1 lb of milk?
Answer
The density of milk is 1.03 kg/L (cow milk at 15.6 °C; whole milk 1.030–1.031), so one liter of it weighs 2.27 lbs.
In kilograms, 1 lb is 0.45 kg — the kilograms to liters page answers the same question from kilograms.
How the volume of 1 lb of milk was worked out
A pound is exactly 0.45359237 kilograms: the weight becomes kilograms, and the density turns kilograms into liters — the answer.
1 lb × 0.45359237 ÷ 1.03 kg/L
≈0.44 liters
(zero point four four liters)
The density comes from FAO/INFOODS Density Database v2.0: cow milk at 15.6 °C; whole milk 1.030–1.031.
The other way round: what one liter of this weighs
This page starts from a weight and answers in liters. The opposite question — how much a given number of liters weighs — is what the liters to pounds calculator is for, and in metric units the same question is liters to kilograms. All of them read one density table, so their numbers agree.
For milk the density is 1.03 kg/L, so 1 lb is 0.44 liters — and one liter of it weighs 2.27 lbs.
If the substance is not known in advance, start from how many liters 1 lb is — the same weight across every substance at once.
