Methanol Liters to Kilograms
Snapshot
1 liter of methanol equals about 0.792 kilogram. Conversion Encyclopedia keeps one material-density basis on this page so the calculator, common values, and reverse page stay aligned.
- Material basis: Methanol at 792 kg/m^3.
- Example: For 10 liters of methanol, the result is about 7.92 kilograms.
- Source basis: NIST Chemistry WebBook: Methanol.

0.792 Kilograms (Methanol)
SwitchExplanation
Methanol density varies with temperature and purity. This page fixes one representative density for consistent planning calculations; laboratory or transfer work should use the actual material specification and reference temperature.
Multiply liters by 0.792 kilograms per liter using the fixed 792 kg/m³ density basis.
Reference & Scope
Use measured density when purity or temperature differs from the representative page basis.
- Values are calculated from one explicit conversion basis.
- Displayed results are rounded only after the underlying calculation.
- Real measured materials and ingredients can vary from the stated reference basis.

Methanol density and calculation basis
Methanol is represented in this table by a fixed reference density of 792 kg/m^3, equivalent to 0.792 g/cm^3. Typical pure methanol density near room temperature.
At this fixed reference, 1 liter of Methanol corresponds to 0.792 kg, while 1 kg corresponds to 1.262626 liters. Its table density is 20.6% lower than the 997 kg/m^3 water reference used in this dataset.
Among the 17 fixed table records labeled Liquids, the nearest density to Methanol is Ethanol at 789 kg/m^3: an absolute difference of 3 kg/m^3 (0.4% relative to Methanol). 4 records have a lower fixed density and 12 have a higher one. The observed range in this labeled group is Gasoline at 745 kg/m^3 to Honey at 1420 kg/m^3. This is a numerical comparison, not a claim that the materials are interchangeable.
For this direction, mass is calculated as volume multiplied by density after normalizing the units to cubic meters and kilograms. The resulting page multiplier is 0.792 kg per L.
The fixed value supports repeatable calculations but is not a batch, grade, supplier, or laboratory specification. Use a measured or certified density when those conditions control the result.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does one liter of methanol weigh?
About 0.792 kilogram with this page's reference density.
How much do 10 liters of methanol weigh?
About 7.92 kilograms.
Does methanol density change with temperature?
Yes. Temperature and purity affect density, so precise work needs condition-specific data.
