Skim Milk weighs 1.035 kg per litre. Convert litres to kilograms (and back) using its exact density.
Quick Metrology Summary
1 liter of Skim Milk weighs approximately 1.035 kilograms (or 1035 grams) at standard room temperature. Because mass equals volume multiplied by density (\(m = V \times \rho\)), multiplying volume in liters by 1.035 gives the exact mass in kg.
Skim Milk: Weight per Litre Explained
Skim Milk has a density of 1.035 kg/L, which makes it 3.5% heavier than water. Skimming removes butterfat, which is lighter than water. With the light component gone, what remains is denser: skim milk is about 1.035 kg/L versus 1.030 for whole milk.
When You Need This Conversion
Low-fat dairy production, cheese-making yield calculations, coffee-shop inventory and nutrition labelling for skim and semi-skimmed products.
What Changes the Density
Semi-skimmed (about 1.5–2% fat) sits between the two, around 1.032–1.034 kg/L. Fortified skim milk with added milk solids can exceed 1.037 kg/L.

How to Convert Liters of Skim Milk to Kilograms
Skimming removes butterfat, which is lighter than water. With the light component gone, what remains is denser: skim milk is about 1.035 kg/L versus 1.030 for whole milk. To convert, multiply the volume in litres by 1.035. To go the other way, divide the weight in kilograms by 1.035.
kg = Litres × 1.035
L = kg ÷ 1.035
1 L → 1.035 kg
10 L → 10.35 kg
100 L → 103.5 kgExample
Convert 5 litres of skim milk to kilograms: 5 × 1.035 = 5.175 kg, or 11.41 lb. Reversed: 5.175 kg ÷ 1.035 = 5 L.
Worked examples
