Converting cubic meters into liters has nothing to do with the substance being measured (e.g. diesel). Both are measurements of volume, and one cubic meter is always equal to one thousand liters:

1 cubic meter = 1,000 liters Specific Gravity is the weight of a certain amount of a substance compared with the weight of an equal amount of pure water. In other words, we know that one gallon of water weighs 8.34 pounds, and so to find the weight of one gallon of a substance with a specific gravity of 0.86 one would simply multiply as follows:

8.34 x 0.86 = 7.1724 pounds

Here are instructions for finding the weight of one cubic meter (one thousand liters) of a substance having a specific gravity of 0.86:

First, convert one cubic meter into gallons, because we already know the weight of water per gallon:

1 cubic meter = 264.172051 US gallons

Next, find the weight of one cubic meter (264.172051 gallons) of water:

264.172051 x 8.34 = 2,203.19491 pounds (This is the weight of one cubic meter of water)

Finally, use the specific gravity of the substance in question (0.86) to find its weight in comparison to that of the water:

2,203.19491 x 0.86 = 1,894.74762 pounds (This is the weight of one cubic meter of diesel assuming that its specific gravity is 0.86)

1 gallon diesel how many liter in uae?

One gallon of diesel fuel in the UAE equates to about 4.546 litres.


What is 1100 liters of fuel with specific gravity 0.9 is equivalent to in us gallons?

1,100 litres is equivalent to 290.589 US gallons (rounded), regardless of what's in the liters. Even if they're completely empty.


How many liters make one metric ton?

There are two methods to determining the weight or mass of any liquid. The first method is the calculation method which uses tabulated data and the second method is the experimental method. First, let's use the calculation method: 1. Diesel weight or mass is first measured in density. Find density for diesel in either "Perry's Chemical Engineers Handbook"( pp. 3-6 through 3-44) or in "Engineer in Training Reference Manual" Appendix 14.F, page A-33. Either case "diesel" is "Fuel Oil #2." Notice you will only find "specific gravity". Specific gravity is based on the density of water at 4 degrees Celsiusor 1000 kg per cubic meter. Fuel oil is 0.82 through 0.95 specific gravity. We will use the more dense end of 0.95, therefore; 0.95 times 1000 kg/cu M is 950.00 kg per cubic meter. 2. What is a litre? A Liter is 0.001 cubic meter. Therefore a cubic meter is 1000 litres. Example calculation: 1.0 m3(1.0 litre/0.001 m3) = 1000 Litres. 3. What is a metric tonne? 1.0 Metric Tonne is 1000 kg. 4. With all the variables in place the calculation results are: 1054.85 litres in one metric tonne of diesel. Experimental method: 1. Fill one litre coke bottle with diesel, weigh the bottle. Use above conversion factors to determine the quantity of bottles needed.


1 kg diesel oil is how many litres?

The result will vary, depending on the type of diesel and its temperature. Diesel fuel oil 20 to 60 at 15ºC has a density of 0.820 to 0.950 kg/L I believe a good average value is Diesel oil 40 at 15ºC with a density of 0.850 kg/L 1 metric ton = 1000 kg 1000 kg / 0.850 kg/L = 1176.47 liters SJ


50 kg to litres specific gravity 1.3?

A litre is a volumetric measurement and kg (kilogram) is a measurement of weight. Specific gravity is a measure of density. It compares density of elements or material (stuff) to the weight of one kilogram of water. If the material (stuff) in question is less dense (lighter) than water, additional volume of the stuff is needed to equal one kilogram of water. The opposite (meaning less stuff) is needed for heavey stuff. In this case the specific gravity of 79 means the material is 79 times more dense than water so only one 79th of a litre is needed to equal a kilogram of water so (X litres/815 kg = 79; X - 10.3 litres)

How much does 1000 litres diesel weight?

It depends on the specific gravity of the diesel which can vary, but typically the SG is approx. 0.827 so 1000litres X .827= 827 Kg

What is the specific gravity of 33000 liters of petrol?

specific gravity is density relative to water. (water = 1 kg / litre) specific gravity of petrol is 0.72 ( 0.72 kg / litre) 33 000 litres petrol * 0.72 = 23 760 kg


Specific gravity of oxygen is?

Start with the molecular weight of oxygen, twice the atomic weight because it's O2. So the molecular weight is 32. Now at school you learn that a gram-mole of any gas occupies 22.4 litres. A gram-mole of oxygen weighs 32 grams (1 gram times the molecular weight). Therefore 32 grams of oxygen occupies 22.4 litres (at normal temperature and pressure). 22.4 litres of water (specific gravity = 1) weighs 22400 grams. Therefore the specific gravity is 32/22400 = 0.00142857 . . That's it!


What is specific gravity of 6K gold?

specific gravity = relative density (relative to water @ 1 g / cubic centimetre) specific gravity of gold is 19.3, so is 19.3 times the density of water. so gold is 19.3 g / cubic centimetre volume of 6k (6 000 g) of gold is : 6 000 / 19.3 = 310.9 cubic centimetres (.3109 litres)
