Questions and answers on how to convert things from one unit or system to another
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.

How do you convert a volume of ice to a volume of water? Is there a standard conversion formula to do this? Thanks.

The mass is conserved, so you can look at the density in either state whuch is tabulated in the Handbook of Chemistry & Physics (published by CRC) or other reference books. In both states, the density is a function of temperature.
Also, when you get to icebergs, the density of sea water is different than fresh water.
But the volume of a given mass of ice is always greater than the same mass of liquid water; hence, ice floats.
