How to Calculate Kg to Litres for Compacted Asphalt / Bitumen
To calculate the volume in litres from a known mass of Compacted Asphalt / Bitumen, divide the mass in kilograms by the substance density:
Volume (L) = Mass (kg) ÷ 2.35 kg/L
1 Litre Mass1 L = 2.350 kg2350 grams per litre
1 Kilogram Volume1 kg = 0.426 L426 mL per kilogram
