How Primer kg to Liters Converter Works?
The Primer kg to Liters Converter works in 3 steps.
- 1
Enter the mass of primer in kilograms (kg).
- 2
Keep 1.25 kg/L for acrylic or alkyd primer; zinc-rich primers reach 2.5 to 3.0 kg/L and wood primers sit near 1.4 kg/L.
- 3
Read the liters (L) for the surface area on the data sheet.
Primer kg to Liters Converter Formula
The Primer kg to Liters Converter formula is:
Volume (L) = Mass of primer (kg) ÷ 1.25 kg/LThe reverse formula is Mass (kg) = Volume of primer (L) × 1.25 kg/L.
Worked example
25 kg (55.12 lb) of primer ÷ 1.25 kg/L = 20 L (5.283 US gal).
Primer data sheets list volume solids (%). A primer at 50% volume solids applied at 100 µm wet gives a 50 µm dry film, and covers 10 m² per liter.
