Convert kilograms of palm oil to liters and back. Palm Oil is solid when cool, so the density here is for the melted oil at 40 °C.
How KG to Liters Palm Oil Works?
KG to Liters Palm Oil works by dividing the mass of palm oil in kilograms (kg) by the density of palm oil in kilograms per liter (kg/L). Palm oil has a density of 0.891 kg/L at 40 °C (104 °F). The volume updates in real time as the weight changes.

5 kg of palm oil ÷ 0.891 kg/L = 5.61 L (1.48 US gallons, 1.23 UK gallons).
4 steps to convert palm oil 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).
Set the liquid temperature: the converter corrects the density of palm oil by 0.072% per °C (0.04% per °F) from 40 °C.
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, 5 L cans and 15 L tins.
KG to Liters Palm Oil Formula
The KG to Liters Palm Oil formula is liters = kilograms ÷ 0.891, written as V = m ÷ ρ with ρ = 0.891 kg/L for palm oil. The formula has 3 variables:
V (volume) is the result in liters (L).
m (mass) is the weight of palm oil in kilograms (kg).
ρ (rho, density) is the mass of palm oil per unit volume in kilograms per liter (kg/L).
VolumeV = m ÷ 0.891
Massm = V × 0.891
Densityρ = m ÷ V

3 worked examples of the KG to Liters Palm Oil formula
1 kg ÷ 0.891 kg/L = 1.122 L (0.3 US gal).
5 kg ÷ 0.891 kg/L = 5.612 L (1.48 US gal).
100 kg ÷ 0.891 kg/L = 112.233 L (29.65 US gal).
The reverse formula is kilograms = liters × 0.891: 1 L of palm oil weighs 0.891 kg (891 g, 1.96 lb), and 1 US gallon weighs 3.37 kg (7.44 lb).
Temperature correction formula for palm oil
The corrected density is ρ(T) = ρ40 ÷ (1 + β × (T − 40)), with β = 0.00072 per °C for palm oil. Palm oil at 60 °C (140 °F) weighs 0.878 kg/L, so 1,000 kg fills 1,138.5 L instead of 1,122.33 L at 40 °C.
KG to Liters Palm Oil Conversion Table
The KG to Liters Palm Oil conversion table lists the volume of palm oil in liters (L), US gallons and UK gallons for 12 masses from 0.5 kg to 1,000 kg at 0.891 kg/L. A second table converts liters of palm oil back to kilograms.

Liters in 1 kg of 10 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 Palm Oil?
KG to Liters Palm Oil is a mass-to-volume conversion that turns the mass of palm oil in kilograms (kg) into the volume in liters (L), using the density of palm oil as the conversion factor.
Palm oil is an edible vegetable oil from the fruit pulp of the oil palm (Elaeis guineensis). Liquid palm oil weighs 0.891 kg/L at 50 °C (122 °F); palm oil is semi-solid at room temperature and melts at 33–39 °C (91–102 °F).
1 kg of palm oil fills 1.122 L (1,122 mL, 38 US fl oz).
1 L of palm oil weighs 0.891 kg (891 g, 1.96 lb).
Palm oil is 10.9% lighter than water, so 1 kg of palm oil fills 0.122 L more than 1 kg of water.
