Water Weight Formula:
| From: | To: |
Water weight calculation determines the mass of water based on its volume. Since the density of water is approximately 1000 kg/m³, the weight in kilograms equals the volume in cubic meters multiplied by 1000.
The calculator uses the water weight formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula converts volume of water to mass using water's standard density of 1000 kg per cubic meter.
Details: Calculating water weight is essential in various applications including engineering, construction, water treatment, shipping, and scientific research where accurate mass measurements are required.
Tips: Enter the volume of water in cubic meters. The value must be valid (volume > 0). The calculator will compute the corresponding weight in kilograms.
Q1: Why is the density of water 1000 kg/m³?
A: This is the standard density of pure water at 4°C, which is used as a reference point for most calculations.
Q2: Does temperature affect water density?
A: Yes, water density changes with temperature. The 1000 kg/m³ value is for standard conditions. For precise calculations, temperature corrections may be needed.
Q3: Can this calculator be used for other liquids?
A: No, this calculator is specifically for water. Other liquids have different densities and would require different conversion factors.
Q4: What if my volume is in different units?
A: Convert your volume to cubic meters first. For example, 1 liter = 0.001 m³, 1 gallon ≈ 0.00378541 m³.
Q5: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The calculation assumes pure water at standard conditions. For most practical purposes, it provides sufficiently accurate results.
