How it is calculated
t/m³ = kg/m³ × 0.001
Multiply the value in kilograms per cubic meter by 0.001 to get metric tons per cubic meter.
Example
To convert 25 kg/m³ to metric tons per cubic meter: 25 × 0.001 = 0.025 t/m³.

About the units
- Kilogram per cubic meter
- The SI unit of density: one kilogram of mass in one cubic meter. Water is close to 1000 kg/m³.
- Metric ton per cubic meter
- Equal to exactly 1000 kg/m³, used in construction for concrete, sand and rock.
Limits and caveats
- Results are rounded for display and computed with the browser's floating point precision (about 15 significant digits).
- Both unit factors are exact by their official definitions.
Questions about this tool
How many metric tons per cubic meter are in one kilogram per cubic meter?
1 kg/m³ = 0.001 t/m³ exactly.
How do I convert kilograms per cubic meter to metric tons per cubic meter?
Use t/m³ = kg/m³ × 0.001. For example, 25 kg/m³ = 0.025 t/m³.
How many kilograms per cubic meter are in one metric ton per cubic meter?
1 t/m³ = 1,000 kg/m³.
How do I find the weight of a liquid from its density?
Multiply density by volume in matching units: 2 liters of oil at 0.92 kg/L weigh 1.84 kilograms.
Is the density of water exactly 1 g/cm³?
Nearly: pure water at about 4 °C is close to 0.99997 g/cm³ and gets slightly lighter as it warms. Using 1 g/cm³ is a fine approximation for most purposes.
