Wood Chips kg to Liters Converter Formula
The Wood Chips kg to Liters Converter formula is:
Volume (L) = Mass of wood chips (kg) ÷ 0.35 kg/LThe reverse formula is Mass (kg) = Volume of wood chips (L) × 0.35 kg/L.
Worked example
10 kg (22.05 lb) of wood chips ÷ 0.35 kg/L = 28.57 L (7.548 US gal).
Fuel chips are often sold by loose cubic meter (bulk m³). Price per tonne and price per m³ compare fairly only at the same moisture content.
