Pounds to milliliters calculator

Convert pounds (lb) to milliliters (mL) for liquid volume calculations. This calculator helps you determine the volume of a liquid when given its weight, assuming a specific density.

Input Parameters

Calculation Formula

Volume (mL) = Weight (g) ÷ Density (g/mL)

Where:
Volume (mL): The volume of the liquid in milliliters
Weight (g): The weight of the liquid in grams
Density (g/mL): The density of the liquid in grams per milliliter

Learn how to use the Pounds to milliliters calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the weight of the liquid in pounds (lb) in the "Weight (Pounds)" field.
  2. Enter the density of the liquid in grams per milliliter (g/mL) in the "Density (g/mL)" field. The default value is 1.0 g/mL, which is the density of water.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to convert the weight to volume in milliliters (mL).
  4. The result will be displayed in the "Result (Milliliters)" field.

Working Principle

This calculator uses the formula: Volume (mL) = Weight (g) ÷ Density (g/mL)

Where:

  • Volume (mL) is the volume of the liquid in milliliters.
  • Weight (g) is the weight of the liquid in grams, calculated by multiplying the weight in pounds by 453.592 (since 1 pound = 453.592 grams).
  • Density (g/mL) is the density of the liquid in grams per milliliter.

Example

If you have 2 pounds of water (density = 1.0 g/mL), the calculation would be:

Volume (mL) = 2 lb × 453.592 g/lb ÷ 1.0 g/mL = 907.184 mL

Applications

This calculator can be used in various scenarios such as:

  • Converting the weight of a liquid to its volume for recipes or laboratory measurements.
  • Calculating the volume of liquids when their weight is known but density varies.
  • Chemical and pharmaceutical applications where precise volume measurements are required.
