Milliliters to Kilograms Calculator
Important Note
This calculator assumes water density (1 g/ml). Different substances have different densities, so results will vary for other liquids. For example, oil is lighter (~0.9 g/ml) while honey is heavier (~1.4 g/ml).
๐ Examples, Formula, and How To
๐ Milliliters to Kilograms Formula
Milliliters to Kilograms (Water)
kg = ml รท 1,000
For water: divide milliliters by 1,000 to get kilograms (density = 1 g/ml)
Kilograms to Milliliters (Water)
ml = kg ร 1,000
For water: multiply kilograms by 1,000 to get milliliters (density = 1 g/ml)
๐ก Converting Milliliters to Kilograms
Example 1
Convert: 500 milliliters of water to kilograms
Start with the conversion formula: kg = ml รท 1,000
Substitute the value: kg = 500 รท 1,000
Calculate: 500 รท 1,000 = 0.5
Example 2
Convert: 2 kilograms of water to milliliters
Start with the conversion formula: ml = kg ร 1,000
Substitute the value: ml = 2 ร 1,000
Calculate: 2 ร 1,000 = 2,000

๐ What are Milliliters and Kilograms?
๐ Milliliter(ml)
Definition:
A milliliter is a unit of volume equal to one thousandth of a liter. It is commonly used for measuring liquid volumes.
History:
The milliliter was established as part of the metric system, derived from the liter which was originally defined as the volume of one kilogram of water.
Common Uses:
- Cooking and recipe measurements
- Medical dosages and prescriptions
- Laboratory measurements
- Beverage serving sizes
- Cosmetic and personal care products
Fun Fact:
One milliliter is exactly equal to one cubic centimeter (1 ml = 1 cmยณ). A teaspoon holds about 5 ml, and a tablespoon holds about 15 ml!
๐ Kilogram(kg)
Definition:
A kilogram is the base unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI). Originally defined as the mass of one liter of water at 4ยฐC.
History:
The kilogram was originally defined in 1795 as the mass of one liter of water. In 2019, it was redefined based on fundamental physical constants.
Common Uses:
- Body weight measurements
- Food and ingredient quantities
- Scientific research and calculations
- Industrial measurements
- International trade and commerce
Fun Fact:
The kilogram is the only SI base unit that still has a prefix ('kilo-'). One kilogram of water at room temperature occupies almost exactly one liter of space!
