Crude Oil (Medium) Kilos in Litres
Convert weight in kilograms to volumetric litres for Crude Oil (Medium) based on its laboratory calibrated density of 0.855 kg/L at standard reference temperature (20°C).
1 kilogram of Crude Oil (Medium) occupies approximately 1.170 litres (1170 mL) at standard reference conditions. Because volume equals mass divided by density (V = m ÷ ρ), dividing any weight in kilograms by 0.855 yields the exact volume in litres.

How to Convert Crude Oil (Medium) Kilos to Litres
To convert any weight of crude oil (medium) into volume, apply the fundamental fluid metrology equation dividing mass by its specific density of 0.855 kg/L.
Because crude oil (medium) has a physical density of 0.855 kg/L, every kilogram corresponds to 1.170 litres (or 1170 mL). Conversely, multiplying any volume in litres by 0.855 gives its exact mass in kilograms (Mass = Volume × 0.855).

Crude Oil (Medium): Petroleum Exploration, Tanker Shipping & Refinery Processing
Medium benchmark crude petroleum (34° API Gravity) at 15°C.
- ✓Temperature Sensitivity: Liquid volume fluctuates with temperature. Standard commercial calibration assumes 20°C (68°F) at 101.325 kPa atmospheric pressure.
- ✓Mass vs. Volume Invoicing: Bulk purchasing by weight (kg) eliminates thermal expansion variance inherent in volumetric metering (litres).
- ✓Tare Weight Calculation: When calculating gross transport weight, multiply total litres by 0.855 kg/L and add container/drum tare weight.
