Welcome to the liters to pounds calculator, where we make converting between these two units quick and easy!

To use this tool, select the substance you're dealing with and the number of liters, and we'll convert it to pounds. If the substance is not on the list, input the density yourself!

The liters to lbs conversion is frequent in many fields, such as cooking, science, and engineering. Apart from converting volume into mass, you can use this tool to increase measurement accuracy, as mass measurement devices are usually more accurate than volume measurement tools.

Do you want to learn more? Keep reading this article, where we explain the formulas to convert from liters to pounds.

Liters to pounds conversion

This liters to pounds calculator relies on the widely known mass-density-volume formula:

Mass = Density × Volume

To convert from L to pounds, multiply the density (in pounds per liter) by the volume (number of liters):

Mass [lb] = Density [lb/L] × Volume [L]

lbs to liters conversion

For the liters-to-pounds conversion, divide the mass (in pounds) by the density (in pounds per liter):

Volume [L] = Mass [lb]/Density [lb/L]

Expressing density as lb/L

It could be that the density of your substance is not in lb/L. That's fine for our liters-to-pounds converter, as you can input any unit, and it will handle it properly.

But if you want to use the formulas above, you must know the density in lb/L. Here are some conversion factors that may be useful for this:

  • Density [lb/L] = Density [kg/m³] × 0.00220462;
  • Density [lb/L] = Density [g/cm³] × 2.20462;
  • Density [lb/L] = Density [g/mL] × 2.20462;
  • Density [lb/L] = Density [lb/in³] × 61.0237;
  • Density [lb/L] = Density [lb/gal] × 0.264172.

For example, if the density is in g/cm³, multiply it by 2.20462, which will be the density in lb/L.

How to use our liters to pounds calculator

Follow these steps to properly use our liters to pounds calculator:

  1. Choose the category of the item you are looking at.
  2. Choose the item, and the density will be reflected immediately.
  3. Enter the volume in liters, and the weight in pounds will be returned in real time.
  4. Alternatively, you can enter the weight, and the volume in liters will be shown immediately.
  5. That's it! Now, give it a try.

FAQ
