KG To Liters

KG to Liter Beras

Convert kilograms of beras (uncooked rice) to liters. Markets in Indonesia and Malaysia often measure beras by the liter, so this shows how many liters a 5 kg bag or 25 kg karung holds.

How KG to Liter Beras Works?

KG to Liter Beras works by dividing the mass of beras in kilograms (kg) by the bulk density of beras in kilograms per liter (kg/L). The converter holds 4 rice types from 0.780 kg/L (Beras Merah (red rice)) to 0.800 kg/L (Beras Pandan Wangi (fragrant rice)), and the default is Beras Putih (white rice) at 0.800 kg/L. The volume updates in real time as the weight changes.

Mass5 kg
÷ Bulk density0.800 kg/L
Volume6.25 L
5 kg of Beras Putih (white rice) ÷ 0.800 kg/L = 6.25 L (1.65 US gallons, 1.37 UK gallons).

4 steps to convert beras from kg to liters

  1. Choose the direction: "kg → Liters" for mass to volume or "Liters → kg" for volume to mass.
  2. Select 1 of 4 rice types: Beras Putih (white rice), Beras Pandan Wangi (fragrant rice), Beras Merah (red rice) and Beras Ketan (glutinous rice).
  3. Enter the weight in 1 of 7 mass units: kilograms (kg), grams (g), pounds (lb), ounces (oz), stone (st), tonnes (t) or milligrams (mg).
  4. Read the volume in 1 of 13 volume units, including liters (L), milliliters (mL), US gallons (gal), UK gallons, US cups, cubic meters (m³) and oil barrels (bbl).

The converter changes the input to kilograms, divides the kilograms by the bulk density and changes the liters to the selected output unit. The live container fills to the result, and the container row counts 1 L takaran (rice measures), 5 kg bags and 25 kg karung (sacks).

KG to Liter Beras Formula

The KG to Liter Beras formula is liters = kilograms ÷ 0.800, written as V = m ÷ ρ with ρ = 0.800 kg/L for Beras Putih (white rice). The formula has 3 variables:

  • V (volume) is the result in liters (L).
  • m (mass) is the weight of beras in kilograms (kg).
  • ρ (rho, bulk density) is the mass of beras per unit volume in kilograms per liter (kg/L).
m ρ V
VolumeV = m ÷ 0.800
Massm = V × 0.800
Bulk densityρ = m ÷ V

3 worked examples of the KG to Liter Beras formula

  1. 1 kg ÷ 0.800 kg/L = 1.25 L (0.33 US gal).
  2. 5 kg ÷ 0.800 kg/L = 6.25 L (1.65 US gal).
  3. 100 kg ÷ 0.800 kg/L = 125 L (33.02 US gal).

The reverse formula is kilograms = liters × 0.800: 1 L of Beras Putih (white rice) weighs 0.800 kg (800 g, 1.76 lb), and 1 US gallon weighs 3.03 kg (6.68 lb).

Bulk density of beras

Bulk density includes the air between grains or particles, so beras weighs less per liter than the solid material. Tapping, packing or moisture raises the bulk density of beras by 10–20%, and 1 kg of packed beras fills 80–90% of the poured volume.

KG to Liter Beras Conversion Table

The KG to Liter Beras conversion table lists the volume of Beras Putih (white rice) in liters (L), US gallons and UK gallons for 12 masses from 0.5 kg to 1,000 kg at 0.800 kg/L. A second table lists 1, 5, 10, 25 and 50 kg for all 4 rice types.

Liters in 1 kg of 7 substances. Bars longer than water mark substances lighter than water.

1 liter equals 1,000 milliliters (mL), 0.264 US gallons, 0.220 UK gallons and 33.8 US fluid ounces (fl oz), so each value in the table converts to these units by multiplication.

What Is KG to Liter Beras?

KG to Liter Beras is a mass-to-volume conversion that turns the mass of beras in kilograms (kg) into the volume in liters (L), using the bulk density of beras as the conversion factor.

Beras is the Indonesian and Malay word for uncooked rice. Beras putih (white rice) and beras pandan have a bulk density of 0.80 kg/L, beras merah (red rice) 0.78 kg/L and beras ketan (glutinous rice) 0.79 kg/L.

  • 1 kg of Beras Putih (white rice) fills 1.250 L (1,250 mL, 42.3 US fl oz).
  • 1 L of Beras Putih (white rice) weighs 0.800 kg (800 g, 1.76 lb).
  • Beras Putih (white rice) is 20% lighter than water, so 1 kg of Beras Putih (white rice) fills 0.250 L more than 1 kg of water.
Beras Putih (white rice)1.25 L
Water1.00 L
White Rice (uncooked)1.25 L
Basmati Rice1.32 L
1 kg of 4 substances fills 4 different volumes.

The International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) defines the kilogram (kg) as the SI base unit of mass, and the liter (L) equals 1 cubic decimeter (dm³), a unit accepted for use with the International System of Units (SI).

Frequently Asked Questions

How many liters is 1 kg of beras?

About 1.25 L, using a typical bulk density of 0.800 kg/L for beras putih (white rice).

How much does 1 liter of beras weigh?

About 0.800 kg (800 g).

How many liters are in a 25 kg sack of beras?

A 25 kg sack of beras putih holds 31.25 L.

What is the difference between beras and nasi?

Beras is uncooked rice and nasi is cooked rice. 1 kg of beras putih fills 1.25 L, and 1 kg of cooked rice fills 1.515 L.

Why not just use 1 kg = 1 liter?

That rule only works for water. Dry goods trap air between grains, so their liters per kilogram depend on the material and how it is packed.
