Wet Mortar Mix weighs 2.16 kg per litre. Convert litres to kilograms (and back) using its exact density.
Quick Metrology Summary
1 liter of Wet Mortar Mix weighs approximately 2.16 kilograms (or 2160 grams) at standard room temperature. Because mass equals volume multiplied by density (\(m = V \times \rho\)), multiplying volume in liters by 2.16 gives the exact mass in kg.
Wet Mortar Mix: Weight per Litre Explained
Wet Mortar Mix has a density of 2.16 kg/L, which makes it 2.2 times the weight of water per litre. Wet masonry mortar is cement, sand and water at roughly 2.16 kg/L.

How to Convert Liters of Wet Mortar Mix to Kilograms
Wet masonry mortar is cement, sand and water at roughly 2.16 kg/L. To convert, multiply the volume in litres by 2.16. To go the other way, divide the weight in kilograms by 2.16.
kg = Litres × 2.16
L = kg ÷ 2.16
1 L → 2.16 kg
10 L → 21.6 kg
100 L → 216 kgExample
Convert 5 litres of wet mortar mix to kilograms: 5 × 2.16 = 10.8 kg, or 23.81 lb. Reversed: 10.8 kg ÷ 2.16 = 5 L.
