Forum rules
Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on
convert-me.com FaceBook pageThank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

Hi
I need to convert 3 cubic meters into kilograms. I know volume cannot be converted into weight so easily. But in terms of shipping by sea the measurements are defined in volume and shippings by air are as per weight.
If anyone has any encountered a similar situation, please contact me

It depends on what the density of the material you are shipping is.
one liter equals 1 cubic decimemter
so
one cubic meter would be 1000 liters.
If what you are shipping is water, then this would weigh 1000 kg or a metric ton.
If it was styrofoam, the weight would be substantially less
Hope this helps
Jens
