How Hydraulic Fluid kg to Liters Converter Works?
The Hydraulic Fluid kg to Liters Converter works in 3 steps.
- 1
Enter the mass of hydraulic fluid in kilograms (kg).
- 2
Keep 0.87 kg/L for mineral ISO VG 32 to VG 68 oils; water-glycol fluids reach about 1.08 kg/L and phosphate esters about 1.15 kg/L.
- 3
Read the liters (L) for reservoir fills.
Hydraulic Fluid kg to Liters Converter Formula
The Hydraulic Fluid kg to Liters Converter formula is:
Volume (L) = Mass of hydraulic fluid (kg) ÷ 0.87 kg/LThe reverse formula is Mass (kg) = Volume of hydraulic fluid (L) × 0.87 kg/L.
Worked example
25 kg (55.12 lb) of hydraulic fluid ÷ 0.87 kg/L = 28.74 L (7.591 US gal).
Reservoir sizing uses the 3× rule for mobile and industrial systems: reservoir liters equal about 3 times the pump flow in liters per minute.
