Convert kilograms of liquid nitrogen (LN₂) to liters. Liquid nitrogen weighs 0.808 kg per liter at its boiling point of −196 °C (−321 °F), so 1 kg fills 1.238 L.
How KG to Liters Liquid Nitrogen Works?
KG to Liters Liquid Nitrogen works by dividing the mass of liquid nitrogen in kilograms (kg) by the density of liquid nitrogen in kilograms per liter (kg/L). Liquid nitrogen has a density of 0.808 kg/L at 20 °C (68 °F). The volume updates in real time as the weight changes.

1 kg of liquid nitrogen ÷ 0.808 kg/L = 1.24 L (0.33 US gallons, 0.27 UK gallons).
3 steps to convert liquid nitrogen from kg to liters
Choose the direction: "kg → Liters" for mass to volume or "Liters → kg" for volume to mass.
Enter the weight in 1 of 7 mass units: kilograms (kg), grams (g), pounds (lb), ounces (oz), stone (st), tonnes (t) or milligrams (mg).
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 1 L bottles, 2.5 L lab bottles and 20 L carboys.
KG to Liters Liquid Nitrogen Formula
The KG to Liters Liquid Nitrogen formula is liters = kilograms ÷ 0.808, written as V = m ÷ ρ with ρ = 0.808 kg/L for liquid nitrogen. The formula has 3 variables:
V (volume) is the result in liters (L).
m (mass) is the weight of liquid nitrogen in kilograms (kg).
ρ (rho, density) is the mass of liquid nitrogen per unit volume in kilograms per liter (kg/L).
VolumeV = m ÷ 0.808
Massm = V × 0.808
Densityρ = m ÷ V
Cover the unknown value in the triangle to read its formula.
3 worked examples of the KG to Liters Liquid Nitrogen formula
1 kg ÷ 0.808 kg/L = 1.238 L (0.33 US gal).
10 kg ÷ 0.808 kg/L = 12.376 L (3.27 US gal).
100 kg ÷ 0.808 kg/L = 123.762 L (32.69 US gal).
The reverse formula is kilograms = liters × 0.808: 1 L of liquid nitrogen weighs 0.808 kg (808 g, 1.78 lb), and 1 US gallon weighs 3.06 kg (6.74 lb).

Liters in 1 kg of 2 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 Liters Liquid Nitrogen?
KG to Liters Liquid Nitrogen is a mass-to-volume conversion that turns the mass of liquid nitrogen in kilograms (kg) into the volume in liters (L), using the density of liquid nitrogen as the conversion factor.
Liquid nitrogen (LN₂) is nitrogen gas cooled to a liquid at −196 °C (−321 °F). Liquid nitrogen weighs 0.808 kg/L at its boiling point, and 1 L of LN₂ expands into 691 L of nitrogen gas at 20 °C (68 °F).
1 kg of liquid nitrogen fills 1.238 L (1,238 mL, 41.8 US fl oz).
1 L of liquid nitrogen weighs 0.808 kg (808 g, 1.78 lb).
Liquid nitrogen is 19.2% lighter than water, so 1 kg of liquid nitrogen fills 0.238 L more than 1 kg of water.
Liquid Nitrogen1.24 L
Water1.00 L
1 kg of 2 substances fills 2 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).
What Are the Uses of KG to Liters Liquid Nitrogen?
There are 4 main uses of KG to Liters Liquid Nitrogen: dewar filling, cryogenic storage, food freezing and gas supply.
Dewar filling: A 50 L dewar holds 40.4 kg of liquid nitrogen.
Cryogenic storage: Sample freezers list LN₂ use in liters per day, and suppliers bill kilograms.
Food freezing: Ice cream makers use 1–2 L of LN₂ per liter of mix, or 0.81–1.62 kg.
Gas supply: 1 kg of LN₂ makes 855 L of nitrogen gas at 20 °C.
KG to Liters Liquid Nitrogen returns estimates from typical density values. Weigh 1 L of the product or read the product data sheet, if the job needs an exact figure.
