I always took it for granted up until now, that a kg was the same as a litre and it has always mystified that some things come in kgs and some in litres, even though they are both dried goods that are sold by the weight, for instance I buy cat biscuits in sacks of 15 kg but the cat litter comes in sacks of 30 litres (and for some reason I always thought that litres were for measuring the weight of liquids, milk etc). As for the density of the cat litter.....er well... I can only say that the 30litres of cat litter looks and feels very much like the sack of 15 kgs of cat biscuits! Heavy. Thanks for your help anyway x
Some items are sold by weight, some by volume. Most annoying is one UK company that provides dried mealworms for bird food. They supply these in tubs containing 1000 millilitres, and in packs containing 1 kilogram. Such inconsistency is utterly frustrating. To work out the best value, you'd have buy both and use precision scales!
This brand of cat litter http://www.purapet.co...nlight-cat-litter.htm has density 0.9 to 0.95gm/cc. So (as 1000 cc = 1 litre, and 1000 gm = 1 kg) 1 litre of this weighs 0.9 kg to 0.95 kg. 30 litre will weigh 27 to 28.5 kg. So the idea that 1 litre = 1 kg is not far out for this brand, it is rather denser than water.
I don't keep a cat so have no experience of litter. Perhaps I have misunderstood the "bulk density" figures given on the website. Here's another page of that site - http://www.valupets.c...-litter-assorted.html - which gives both weight and volume for packs. I'll let the OPer decide whether any are the type of litter thhey use.
