Specific Volume Converter
Specific volume is the volume occupied by a unit of mass — the reciprocal of density. The SI unit is the cubic metre per kilogram (m³/kg). A substance that doubles in density halves in specific volume.
1 m³/kg = 16.01846337 ft³/lb
How to convert m³/kg to ft³/lb
One m³/kg equals 16.01846337 ft³/lb, so multiply any value in m³/kg by 16.01846337 to get ft³/lb. To convert back, divide by 16.01846337 — or multiply by 0.06242796058.
ft³/lb = m³/kg × 16.01846337
Example: 25 m³/kg × 16.01846337 = 400.4615843 ft³/lb.
