How Brine kg to Liters Converter Works?
The Brine kg to Liters Converter works in 3 steps.
- 1
Enter the mass of brine in kilograms (kg).
- 2
Match the density to the salt strength: 1.07 kg/L for 10%, 1.15 kg/L for 20% and 1.20 kg/L for saturated 26% brine.
- 3
Read the liters (L) for pickling, de-icing or curing tanks.
Brine kg to Liters Converter Formula
The Brine kg to Liters Converter formula is:
Volume (L) = Mass of brine (kg) ÷ 1.15 kg/LThe reverse formula is Mass (kg) = Volume of brine (L) × 1.15 kg/L.
Worked example
25 kg (55.12 lb) of brine ÷ 1.15 kg/L = 21.74 L (5.743 US gal).
Brine saturates at about 26.4% sodium chloride (NaCl) by mass at 20 °C (68 °F). No extra salt dissolves past that point, so density stops near 1.20 kg/L.

What is Brine kg to Liters Converter?
The Brine kg to Liters Converter is a calculator that converts the mass of salt water solution into volume, with a default density of 1.15 kg/L. Brine is water carrying a high concentration of dissolved salt, usually sodium chloride or calcium chloride.
Brine strength is measured in 3 common ways: percent by mass, degrees salinometer (°SAL) and specific gravity. A salinometer reading of 100 °SAL means a saturated solution.
What are the uses of Brine kg to Liters Converter?
There are 4 main uses of the Brine kg to Liters Converter: road de-icing, pickling and curing, cooling loops and water softeners.
Road de-icing
Highway crews convert tonnes of 23% brine into liters for spray trucks.
Pickling and curing
Food makers convert brine batches for olives, cheese and meat.
Cooling loops
Refrigeration engineers size calcium chloride brine circuits.
Water softeners
