How to Convert MDEA Liters to Kilograms

Your packing list shows the shipment quantity in kilograms, but your warehouse records the liquid volume in liters. To compare those records for N-methyldiethanolamine (MDEA, CAS 105-59-9), use the actual liquid volume and the density of the supplied grade at the same temperature.

Multiply the actual volume by the matching density

Mass (kg) = liquid volume (L) × density (kg/L)

If the density is reported in g/cm³, you can use the same numerical value in kg/L. A published reference for MDEA lists a density of 1.04 g/cm³ at 20 °C, equivalent to 1.04 kg/L. At that reference density, 200 L of liquid at 20 °C weighs approximately 208 kg. Use the density specified for your supplied grade when reconciling an actual shipment. Univar Solutions

Check the grade and temperature

Use density data for the product you received. If your order is for an aqueous MDEA solution or a formulated grade, ask for density data for that specific product. If the technical data sheet gives density at 20 °C and your volume was measured at another temperature, use the density at the measurement temperature or a volume corrected to the reference temperature.

Check the fill volume before using the drum capacity

A drum marked 200 L indicates its nominal capacity. For the calculation, use the actual liquid volume from your fill record or measurement. When comparing the calculated mass with a scale reading, subtract the applicable tare so both figures represent net product weight.

Request the density basis with your MDEA quote

When requesting a quotation from China Amines Co., Limited, include the MDEA grade, required concentration, net quantity, preferred packaging and destination port. If your site records inventory in liters, ask for the density and its reference temperature so your purchasing and receiving teams can use the same conversion.
