How Butane kg to Liters Converter Works?
The Butane kg to Liters Converter works in 3 steps.
- 1
Enter the mass of butane in kilograms (kg) or grams (g).
- 2
Keep 0.573 kg/L for n-butane at 25 °C (77 °F); isobutane sits near 0.551 kg/L.
- 3
Read the liquid liters (L) or milliliters (mL).
Butane kg to Liters Converter Formula
The Butane kg to Liters Converter formula is:
Volume (L) = Mass of butane (kg) ÷ 0.573 kg/LThe reverse formula is Mass (kg) = Volume of butane (L) × 0.573 kg/L.
Worked example
10 kg (22.05 lb) of butane ÷ 0.573 kg/L = 17.45 L (4.61 US gal).
Butane boils at −0.5 °C (31 °F). Pure butane stoves lose pressure in freezing weather, so winter canisters blend butane with propane or isobutane.
