How Cubic Meters to Kilograms Converter Works?
The Cubic Meters to Kilograms Converter works in 3 steps.
- 1
Enter the volume in cubic meters (m³), such as length × width × depth in meters.
- 2
Set the density in kg/L; 1 kg/L equals 1,000 kg/m³.
- 3
Read the mass in kilograms (kg) or tonnes.
Cubic Meters to Kilograms Converter Formula
The Cubic Meters to Kilograms Converter formula is:
Mass (kg) = Volume (m³) × Density (kg/L) × 1,000The reverse formula is Volume (m³) = Mass (kg) ÷ Density, with the same unit factors applied in the opposite direction.
Worked example
3 m³ of concrete at 2.3 kg/L = 6,900 kg.
A 4 × 3 m patio slab 100 mm deep has a volume of 1.2 m³ and weighs about 2,760 kg (2.76 t) at 2.3 kg/L.
