Quick Metrology Summary

1 liter of Hydrochloric Acid (37%) weighs approximately 1.18 kilograms (or 1180 grams) at standard room temperature. Because mass equals volume multiplied by density (\(m = V \times \rho\)), multiplying volume in liters by 1.18 gives the exact mass in kg.

Hydrochloric Acid (37%): Weight per Litre Explained

Hydrochloric Acid (37%) has a density of 1.18 kg/L, which makes it 18% heavier than water. Concentrated 37% hydrochloric (muriatic) acid has a density of 1.18 kg/L. That is a gas, hydrogen chloride, dissolved in water to a high level.

When You Need This Conversion

Pool pH adjustment, masonry cleaning, steel pickling and laboratory reagent preparation.

What Changes the Density

The density depends almost linearly on concentration: 31.45% (common muriatic acid) is about 1.16 kg/L, and 20% is about 1.10.

How it works

  1. Enter the litres of hydrochloric acid (37%)

    Type the volume in litres. The calculator is preset to Hydrochloric Acid (37%) at 1.18 kg/L.

  2. Switch direction if needed

    Flip to kilograms → litres to find how much space a given weight of hydrochloric acid (37%) takes up.

  3. Read the result

    See kilograms, pounds, millilitres and gallons. Each litre adds 1.18 kg.

How to Convert Liters of Hydrochloric Acid (37%) to Kilograms

Concentrated 37% hydrochloric (muriatic) acid has a density of 1.18 kg/L. That is a gas, hydrogen chloride, dissolved in water to a high level. To convert, multiply the volume in litres by 1.18. To go the other way, divide the weight in kilograms by 1.18.

Convert Liters to KG formula and density calculation diagram
kg = Litres × 1.18
L  = kg ÷ 1.18

1 L   → 1.18 kg
10 L  → 11.8 kg
100 L → 118 kg
Example

Convert 5 litres of hydrochloric acid (37%) to kilograms: 5 × 1.18 = 5.9 kg, or 13.01 lb. Reversed: 5.9 kg ÷ 1.18 = 5 L.
