How Carbon Dioxide kg to Liters Converter Works?
The Carbon Dioxide kg to Liters Converter works in 3 steps.
- 1
Enter the mass of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in kilograms (kg).
- 2
Keep 0.001977 kg/L for CO₂ at STP, or set 0.00184 kg/L for 20 °C (68 °F).
- 3
Read the CO₂ volume in liters (L) or cubic meters (m³) for carbonation or emissions reports.
Carbon Dioxide kg to Liters Converter Formula
The Carbon Dioxide kg to Liters Converter formula is:
Volume (L) = Mass of carbon dioxide (kg) ÷ 0.001977 kg/LThe reverse formula is Mass (kg) = Volume of carbon dioxide (L) × 0.001977 kg/L.
Worked example
1 kg (2.2 lb) of carbon dioxide ÷ 0.001977 kg/L = 505.8 L (133.6 US gal, 0.5058 m³).
Carbon footprints in tonnes of CO₂ hide a large volume. 1 tonne of CO₂ fills about 506 m³ at 0 °C, roughly a cube 8 m (26 ft) on each side.
Carbon Dioxide kg to Liters Converter Conversion Table
The Carbon Dioxide kg to Liters Converter table converts 10 masses of carbon dioxide from 0.01 kg (10 g) to 50 kg (110.2 lb) into liters (L), cubic meters (m³) and cubic feet (ft³) at a gas density of 1.977 g/L (1.977 kg/m³).

What is Carbon Dioxide kg to Liters Converter?
The Carbon Dioxide kg to Liters Converter is a calculator that converts carbon dioxide (CO₂) from mass to gas volume at 1.977 g/L. CO₂ is about 53% heavier than air and collects in low spaces such as cellars and pits.
CO₂ cylinders hold liquid CO₂ at about 57 bar (830 psi) at 20 °C. Drinks dispensers, fire extinguishers and welding gas suppliers sell CO₂ by kilogram.
What are the uses of Carbon Dioxide kg to Liters Converter?
