Ice to Water Volume Conversion Calculator

Convert the volume of ice to the volume of water it will become when melted. This calculator accounts for the fact that ice expands when it melts (approximately 9% volume increase).

Calculation Results

Water Volume: 0 cm³

Calculation Formula

Water Volume = Ice Volume × 1.09

Where:
- Ice Volume: Initial volume of ice
- 1.09: Conversion factor (1 + 9% expansion when ice melts)

Ice to Water Volume Conversion Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Ice to Water Volume Conversion Calculator and its working principles

How to Use This Calculator

  1. Enter the volume of ice in the input field. You can choose between cubic centimeters (cm³), cubic inches (in³), or liters (L).
  2. Click the "Calculate" button to convert the ice volume to water volume.
  3. The calculator will display the resulting water volume in the same unit as your input.

Working Principle

This calculator is based on the physical property that water expands when it freezes and contracts when it melts. When ice melts, it typically increases in volume by approximately 9%. This is why the calculation formula used is:

Water Volume = Ice Volume × 1.09

For example, if you have 1000 cm³ of ice, it will become approximately 1090 cm³ of water when it melts.

Practical Applications

This calculator can be useful in various scenarios, such as:

  • Home brewing or winemaking when calculating the final volume of liquid from ice additions
  • Scientific experiments requiring precise volume measurements
  • Food service industries when adding ice to drinks
