If the specific gravity of diesel is zero point 86 how many litres are in 1 cubic meter and how is this calculated?

Answer 1

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)

Answer 2

To calculate the volume of 1 cubic meter of diesel, you need to divide the total volume (1 cubic meter) by the specific gravity (0.86). This gives you approximately 1.163 liters of diesel in 1 cubic meter. The calculation is 1 / 0.86 = 1.163 liters.
