How many liters of diesel are in 1 metric ton?

Answer 1

Diesel has a density of about 850 kgm-3.

So 1000 kg would have a volume of 1.176 m3. mass divided by density equals volume (kg / kg m-3= m3) 1000/850=1.176.

So 1 tonne (10000kg) - 1.176m3, 1m3=1000 litres, 1 tonne diesel = 1176 litres.

Answer 2

The answer could be given when you only mean pure water.

1000 litres of water weighs 1 metric ton or 1000 kg.
Litres are liquid measure tonne is weight measure. different liquids have different weights per litre so unless you know the weight of a litre of the liquid you cannot calculate the answer
The litre is a unit of volume, not mass, so there is no direct equivalence (a litre of feathers weighs less than a litre of bricks).

The litre is defined as the volume of one kilogram of water at standard temperature and pressure. So if you were to ask 'how many litres of water make a metric ton?' the answer would be 1000 litres.
volume (litres) = 1000 / specific gravity of oil

Answer 3

Don't forget that litres are a volume and 1 metric tonne is a force or a weight. For conversion you need the specific weight of gasoline, also known as the unit weight. It is the weight per unit volume of a material. It is not clean to convert from a volume to a weight. Only for pure water 1000 litres equal 1000 kilograms or 1 tonne, but not for gasoline.

Answer 4

Liters are measures of volume and metric tons are measures of mass. Their units cannot be converted from one to the other. *********************************** While you are correct they are different units, it is not entirely true that a conversion cannot be made. You just need more information about the fuel itself... Ships have this problem every day, in that the fuel (used to power the ship itself) is ordered and paid for by mass (metric tons), but it is delivered to the ship by devices which measure volume (liters). The missing pieces of the puzzle are the density of the fuel (kg/m3) and the temperature of the fuel (oC). The mass of a liter of fuel (a measurement of volume) will vary depending on its density and temperature. Typically, the industry uses a standard value for calculations, (e.g. 900 kg/m3 at 15 oC) but this can vary depending on the fuel from 820-950 kg/m3 at 15 oC. Usually the ship is told the density of the fuel they are taking aboard (at 15oC reference temp). The trick is that they then have to adjust the density based on the known actual temperature of the fuel (there are sensors to monitor this). This website has a listing of the densities of various liquids and the associated reference temperatures (http://www.simetric.co.uk/si_liquids.htm).

Answer 5

There are many variables here as the temperature and type of diesel effects the mass. However,

Diesel fuel oil 20 to 60 at 15ºC has a density of 0.820 to 0.950 kg/L

I think a reasonably good average value is Diesel oil 40 at 15ºC with a density of 0.850 kg/L

1 metric ton = 1000 kg therefore

1000 kg / 0.850 kg/= 1176.4705 liters

Answer 6

Approximately 1 metric ton of diesel is equivalent to about 1188 liters.

Answer 7

The density of crude oil varies between 790 and 970 kg/qm.

Answer 8

It depends on the grade of bunker . However, if you just want an approximate answer you can use between 275 and 280 US gallons per metric tonne.
