Cornstarch weighs 0.54 kg per litre. Convert litres to kilograms (and back) using its exact density.
Quick Metrology Summary
1 liter of Cornstarch weighs approximately 0.54 kilograms (or 540 grams) at standard room temperature. Because mass equals volume multiplied by density (\(m = V \times \rho\)), multiplying volume in liters by 0.54 gives the exact mass in kg.
Cornstarch: Weight per Litre Explained
Cornstarch has a density of 0.54 kg/L, which makes it 46% lighter than water. Cornstarch is an extremely fine powder with a bulk density of 0.54 kg/L, much lighter than sugar or salt.
When You Need This Conversion
Thickening sauces, gluten-free baking, laundry and craft recipes.
What Changes the Density
It compacts when pressed or stored in humid air, so scooped and spooned measures can differ by 20% or more.
How it works

How to Convert Liters of Cornstarch to Kilograms
Cornstarch is an extremely fine powder with a bulk density of 0.54 kg/L, much lighter than sugar or salt. To convert, multiply the volume in litres by 0.54. To go the other way, divide the weight in kilograms by 0.54.
kg = Litres × 0.54
L = kg ÷ 0.54
1 L → 0.54 kg
10 L → 5.4 kg
100 L → 54 kgExample
Convert 5 litres of cornstarch to kilograms: 5 × 0.54 = 2.7 kg, or 5.95 lb. Reversed: 2.7 kg ÷ 0.54 = 5 L.
Worked examples
| Scenario | Calculation | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 1 L of cornstarch | 1 × 0.54 kg/L | 0.54 kg |
| 5 L of cornstarch | 5 × 0.54 kg/L | 2.7 kg |
| 20 L of cornstarch | 20 × 0.54 kg/L | 10.8 kg |
| 100 L of cornstarch | 100 × 0.54 kg/L | 54 kg |
| 10 kg of cornstarch (reverse) | 10 ÷ 0.54 kg/L | 18.52 L |
