How to Calculate Kg to Litres for Screened Dry Topsoil
To calculate the volume in litres from a known mass of Screened Dry Topsoil, divide the mass in kilograms by the substance density:
Volume (L) = Mass (kg) ÷ 1.25 kg/L
1 Litre Mass1 L = 1.250 kg1250 grams per litre
1 Kilogram Volume1 kg = 0.800 L800 mL per kilogram
