Specific Volume Units Converter
Coversion factor: 1 m3/kg = 1000 cm3/g
Additional information
Specific volume is a physical property used in thermodynamics and fluid mechanics to describe the volume of a substance per unit mass. It represents the amount of space occupied by one unit mass of a substance. Specific volume is the reciprocal of density and is expressed in units such as cubic meters per kilogram (m3/kg) or liters per gram (L/g).
Mathematically, specific volume is defined as:
Where:
- is the specifc volume
- V is the volume
- m is the mass
The standard unit for specific volume in the International System of Units (SI) is cubic meters per kilogram (m3/kg).
