Mass
Convert gram (g) to kilogram (kg). Mass is the amount of matter — the basis of inventory, batch charges, and material balances, quoted in kg, tonnes, or pounds.
1 g = 0.001 kg
To convert gram to kilogram, multiply the g value by 0.001. To go the other way, divide by 0.001 (or multiply by 1000).
| g | kg |
|---|---|
| 1 | 0.001 |
| 2 | 0.002 |
| 5 | 0.005 |
| 10 | 0.01 |
| 25 | 0.025 |
| 50 | 0.05 |
| 100 | 0.1 |
| 250 | 0.25 |
| 500 | 0.5 |
| 1000 | 1 |
Batch charges and inventories are weighed in kg or lb; bulk quantities in tonnes.
Do not confuse mass with force: a kilogram is mass, a kilogram-force is weight under standard gravity.
Worked example. A mass of 1000000 g is 1000 kg.
Multiply the value in g by 0.001 to get kg. For example, 10 g = 0.01 kg.
1 g equals 0.001 kg.
Batch charges and inventories are weighed in kg or lb; bulk quantities in tonnes.
