why we measure water in liters and oil in kgs? ..

Answer / francis felix

It is something related to viscosity. In normal temperature
oil will be more viscous than water . So the chance for air
trapping between water molecules in combatively less than
oil . If this air trapping phenomena is happened ,and you
are going for a volume measurement like litter .It may give
a false measurement . But measurement based in mass of
object will give exact measurement. The chance for this
error is more prone if the clement is cold.

Answer / santosh

BEcasue oil may turn into solid in winter season nad which
takes time to melt which is nto in case of water

so oil is mesured in kgs as well as liters too

but water is measured in liters

Answer / tushar

It's Because the specific gravity of water is 1.
Which means 1 Kg of water has same mass as 1 ltr of water.
Same is true for milk and other low viscous fluids also...

Where is the price money ??? :)

Answer / lvs

your answer: density.
density = mass / volume.

as volume can change with temprature, its better to measure
oil in kgs instead of lts.

water, milk etc exhibit very little change to temprature
variation unlike oil/ghee so its ok to measure them in lts

Answer / shahbaz kazi

Its all depends on the viscousity of the liquid.... oil
have more viscous than the water... thats why we measure oil
in kg and water in liter ... thats it nothing else..

Answer / tushar

But, 1 Kg of Oil is not equal to 1 Ltr of it. My point is..
we can measure water in both units and both means the same
amount of water. It's just a matter of preference..

Try reading about Specific Gravity of fluids.. which
determine their mass distribution...
