  • mls vs kgs – conversion help please?

    Hi All

    Hope I don’t sound silly here but I am hoping someone can help me with with a small conversion problem. I don’t know if it’s impossible to work out or I am having a moment due to lack of sleep.

    I have been given a price for a 600ml cartridge of resin and a price for a 1kg pail of resin. I need to work out the price comparison.
    You would think after 18 years as a signwriter you would think I would know this.

    Happy Easter

    Cheers
    Paul

    A name like Mr Liquid and you can’t work this one out? 😉

    I’ve tried to convert it, but you really need a weight for the 600ml as there doesn’t appear to be a any comparison/conversion charts available that will do it. I guess its because every liquid has a different density, ie oil and water, a pint of each would presumably weigh different amounts 😕

    Be interested if there is a way of doing it though, I’ll keep looking.

    Cheers, Dewi

    Just weighed a 50ml cartridge and it comes out at 75 grams so if the grey matter is correct then a 600ml should be equal to about 900gms or there about.

    Hope this helps

    I think i would get back to your supplier and find out what the volume of 1kg equates to and work it out from there. I would imagine it would be fairly close to 1000ml.
