Quick Metrology Summary

1 liter of Dry Cement Powder weighs approximately 1.44 kilograms (or 1440 grams) at standard room temperature. Because mass equals volume multiplied by density (\(m = V \times \rho\)), multiplying volume in liters by 1.44 gives the exact mass in kg.

Dry Cement Powder: Weight per Litre Explained

Dry Cement Powder has a density of 1.44 kg/L, which makes it 44% heavier than water. Portland cement powder has a loose bulk density of 1.44 kg/L, as measured in a bag or silo. Its true particle density is about 3.15 kg/L, but it traps a lot of air.

When You Need This Conversion

Ordering bagged cement, silo sizing and mix-ratio calculations by volume.

What Changes the Density

Bulk density rises as cement settles in storage. A standard bag is 25 or 50 kg, which is around 17 or 35 litres of loose powder.

How it works

  1. Enter the litres of dry cement powder

    Type the volume in litres. The calculator is preset to Dry Cement Powder at 1.44 kg/L.

  2. Switch direction if needed

    Flip to kilograms → litres to find how much space a given weight of dry cement powder takes up.

  3. Read the result

    See kilograms, pounds, millilitres and gallons. Each litre adds 1.44 kg.

How to Convert Liters of Dry Cement Powder to Kilograms

Portland cement powder has a loose bulk density of 1.44 kg/L, as measured in a bag or silo. Its true particle density is about 3.15 kg/L, but it traps a lot of air. To convert, multiply the volume in litres by 1.44. To go the other way, divide the weight in kilograms by 1.44.

Convert Liters to KG formula and density calculation diagram
kg = Litres × 1.44
L  = kg ÷ 1.44

1 L   → 1.44 kg
10 L  → 14.4 kg
100 L → 144 kg
Example

Convert 5 litres of dry cement powder to kilograms: 5 × 1.44 = 7.2 kg, or 15.87 lb. Reversed: 7.2 kg ÷ 1.44 = 5 L.
