KG to Liters Jet Fuel

How KG to Liters Jet Fuel Works?

KG to Liters Jet Fuel works by dividing the mass of jet fuel in kilograms (kg) by the density of jet fuel in kilograms per liter (kg/L). The converter holds 3 fuel grades from 0.721 kg/L (avgas 100LL) to 0.808 kg/L (Jet A), and the default is Jet A-1 at 0.804 kg/L. The volume updates in real time as the weight changes.

5 steps to convert jet fuel 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 3 fuel grades: Jet A-1, Jet A and avgas 100LL.
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. Set the liquid temperature: the converter corrects the density of Jet A-1 by 0.099% per °C (0.055% per °F) from 15 °C.
5. 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 density and changes the liters to the selected output unit. The live container fills to the result, and the container row counts 20 L jerrycans, 208 L drums and 1,000 L IBC totes.

KG to Liters Jet Fuel Formula

The KG to Liters Jet Fuel formula is liters = kilograms ÷ 0.804, written as V = m ÷ ρ with ρ = 0.804 kg/L for Jet A-1. The formula has 3 variables:

• V (volume) is the result in liters (L).
• m (mass) is the weight of jet fuel in kilograms (kg).
• ρ (rho, density) is the mass of jet fuel per unit volume in kilograms per liter (kg/L).

2 worked examples of the KG to Liters Jet Fuel formula

1. 1 kg ÷ 0.804 kg/L = 1.244 L (0.33 US gal).
2. 10,000 kg ÷ 0.804 kg/L = 12,437.811 L (3,285.72 US gal).

The reverse formula is kilograms = liters × 0.804: 1 L of Jet A-1 weighs 0.804 kg (804 g, 1.77 lb), and 1 US gallon weighs 3.04 kg (6.71 lb).

Temperature correction formula for Jet A-1

The corrected density is ρ(T) = ρ15 ÷ (1 + β × (T − 15)), with β = 0.00099 per °C for Jet A-1. Jet A-1 at 35 °C (95 °F) weighs 0.788 kg/L, so 10,000 kg fills 12,684.08 L instead of 12,437.81 L at 15 °C.

KG to Liters Jet Fuel Conversion Table

The KG to Liters Jet Fuel conversion table lists the volume of Jet A-1 in liters (L), US gallons and UK gallons for 12 masses from 0.5 kg to 1,000 kg at 0.804 kg/L. A second table lists 1, 5, 10, 25 and 50 kg for all 3 fuel grades.

KG to Liters Jet Fuel by fuel grade

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 Liters Jet Fuel?

KG to Liters Jet Fuel is a mass-to-volume conversion that turns the mass of jet fuel in kilograms (kg) into the volume in liters (L), using the density of jet fuel as the conversion factor.

Jet fuel is a kerosene-type aviation turbine fuel. Jet A-1 weighs 0.775–0.840 kg/L at 15 °C (59 °F) under ASTM D1655 and DEF STAN 91-091, with a typical value of 0.804 kg/L.

• 1 kg of Jet A-1 fills 1.244 L (1,244 mL, 42.1 US fl oz).
• 1 L of Jet A-1 weighs 0.804 kg (804 g, 1.77 lb).
• Jet A-1 is 19.6% lighter than water, so 1 kg of Jet A-1 fills 0.244 L more than 1 kg of water.

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).

What Are the Uses of KG to Liters Jet Fuel?

There are 4 main uses of KG to Liters Jet Fuel: flight fuel planning, fueling slips, airline costing and tank capacity checks.

• Flight fuel planning: Pilots plan fuel in kilograms, and fuel trucks deliver liters: 10,000 kg of Jet A-1 equals 12,437.81 L.
• Fueling slips: Refueling slips list liters and the measured density, and crews convert the liters back to kilograms.
• Airline costing: Jet fuel trades per US gallon or per tonne, and 1 US gal of Jet A-1 weighs 3.04 kg (6.71 lb).
• Tank capacity checks: An Airbus A320 holds 24,210 L of fuel, or 19,465 kg at 0.804 kg/L.
