How to Calculate Kg to Litres for Granulated Sugar
To calculate the volume in litres from a known mass of Granulated Sugar, divide the mass in kilograms by the substance density:
Volume (L) = Mass (kg) ÷ 0.85 kg/L
1 Litre Mass1 L = 0.850 kg850 grams per litre
1 Kilogram Volume1 kg = 1.176 L1176 mL per kilogram
