There can be no equivalence.

A kilogram is a measure of mass. A millilitre is a measure of volume. The two measure different things and,according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid.

If you are not convinced, consider a millilitre of air. How many kilograms? Next consider a millilitre of water. How many kilograms?

The masses of equal volumes of the two substances will clearly be very different. So there is no direct conversion between mass and volume: you need to know the density of the substance to enable you to carry out the conversion.

Furthermore, there is no simple link between volume and mass for water. A litre was defined so that the maximum density of pure water (at 4 deg C and 1 bar) was 1 gram per ml but that definition was replaced in 1964 - nearly 50 years ago.
