How Ice kg to Liters Converter Works?
The Ice kg to Liters Converter works in 3 steps.
- 1
Enter the mass of ice in kilograms (kg).
- 2
Keep 0.917 kg/L for solid block ice at 0 °C (32 °F); loose cubes and crushed ice fill extra space through air gaps.
- 3
Read the solid ice volume in liters (L).
Ice kg to Liters Converter Formula
The Ice kg to Liters Converter formula is:
Volume (L) = Mass of ice (kg) ÷ 0.917 kg/LThe reverse formula is Mass (kg) = Volume of ice (L) × 0.917 kg/L.
Worked example
25 kg (55.12 lb) of ice ÷ 0.917 kg/L = 27.26 L (7.202 US gal).
Water expands about 9% on freezing. 10 L of water becomes 10.9 L of ice, the reason sealed bottles split in a freezer.
Ice kg to Liters Converter Conversion Table
The Ice kg to Liters Converter table converts 12 masses of ice from 0.5 kg (1.1 lb) to 1,000 kg (2,204.6 lb) into liters (L), US gallons and Imperial gallons at 0.917 kg/L (7.653 lb per US gallon).

What is Ice kg to Liters Converter?
The Ice kg to Liters Converter is a calculator that converts the mass of frozen water into the volume of solid ice at 0.917 kg/L. Ice forms an open hexagonal crystal lattice that holds water molecules farther apart than liquid water.
Ice density changes little with temperature: 0.9167 kg/L at 0 °C and about 0.92 kg/L at −30 °C (−22 °F). Bagged cubes have a bulk density of about 0.5 to 0.6 kg/L.
What are the uses of Ice kg to Liters Converter?
There are 4 main uses of the Ice kg to Liters Converter: cooler packing, ice rink building, freezer design and cold-chain shipping.
Cooler packing
Campers convert bags of ice into liters of cooler space.
Ice rink building
Rink crews convert tonnes of frozen water into slab thickness.
Freezer design
Engineers allow for the 9% expansion of water-filled products.
Cold-chain shipping
Shippers size ice packs by mass and volume.
Ice kg to Liters Converter FAQ
Does ice weigh more than water?
No, ice weighs less than water per liter: 1 L of ice weighs 0.917 kg, so ice floats.
How much water does 1 kg of ice make?
1 kg of ice melts into 1 kg (about 1 L) of water. Mass stays the same and volume shrinks by about 8%.
