How to Convert US Gallons per Pound to Liters per Kilogram

To convert us gallons per pound to liters per kilogram, multiply the specific volume by the following conversion ratio: 8.3454045 liters per kilogram/us gallon per pound.

Since one us gallon per pound is equal to 8.3454045 liters per kilogram, you can use this simple formula to convert:

liters per kilogram = us gallons per pound × 8.3454045

The specific volume in liters per kilogram is equal to the specific volume in us gallons per pound multiplied by 8.3454045.

For example, here's how to convert 5 us gallons per pound to liters per kilogram using the formula above.

liters per kilogram = (5 gal/lb × 8.3454045) = 41.7270223 L/kg
