Convert pound / cubic meter to tonne / liter

Learn how to convert 1 pound / cubic meter to tonne / liter step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = x (\frac{t o n n e}{l i t e r})

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r})

Left side: 1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = 0.45359237 (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = 0.45359237 (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{t o n n e}{l i t e r}) = \frac{1016.0469088}{10^{- 3}} (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = \frac{1016.0469088}{10^{- 3}} (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = x (\frac{t o n n e}{l i t e r})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 0.45359237 \times (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r}) = x \times \frac{1016.0469088}{10^{- 3}} \times (\frac{k i l o g r a m}{c u b i c m e t e r})

Or

1.0 \cdot 0.45359237 \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \cdot \frac{1016.0469088}{10^{- 3}} \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 0.45359237 \cdot (\frac{k g}{m^{3}}) = x \times \frac{1016.0469088}{10^{- 3}} \times (\frac{k g}{m^{3}})

Conversion Equation

0.45359237 = x \times \frac{1016.0469088}{10^{- 3}}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{1016.0469088}{10^{- 3}} = 0.45359237

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{10^{- 3}}{1016.0469088})

x \times \frac{1016.0469088}{10^{- 3}} \times \frac{10^{- 3}}{1016.0469088} = 0.45359237 \times \frac{10^{- 3}}{1016.0469088}

Cancel

x \times \frac{1016.0469088 \times 10^{- 3}}{10^{- 3} \times 1016.0469088} = 0.45359237 \times \frac{10^{- 3}}{1016.0469088}

Simplify

x = \frac{0.45359237 \times 10^{- 3}}{1016.0469088}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0000004464 \approx 4.4643 \times 10^{- 7}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{c u b i c m e t e r}) \approx 4.4643 \times 10^{- 7} (\frac{t o n n e}{l i t e r})
