Kg to Gallons of Ethanol
Convert kilograms of Ethanol to US liquid gallons, Imperial gallons, and liters using verified reference density (0.7890 kg/L).
10 kg of ethanol (pure) equals approximately 3.34819 US Liquid Gallons.
Material Metrology & Physical Properties: Ethanol
Pure anhydrous ethanol (ethyl alcohol, C₂H₅OH) is an oxygenated grain alcohol derived through starch fermentation and molecular sieve dehydration. Under the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, pure 200-proof ethanol has a physical density of 0.7890 kg/L (6.584 lbs per US gallon) at 20°C (68°F).
In petroleum refining, fuel-grade ethanol is blended with finished gasoline under renewable fuel mandates (E10, E15, and E85 flex-fuel). Ethanol acts as a high-octane octane booster (RON 108) while reducing carbon monoxide exhaust emissions. However, ethanol possesses significant hygroscopic properties, absorbing moisture directly from the atmosphere.
When water enters ethanol-blended fuel tanks, a critical metrological phenomenon called phase separation can occur: the heavy ethanol-water mixture drops out of solution and sinks to the tank bottom, leaving an octane-deficient hydrocarbon layer above.
Highly flammable liquid and vapor (Class IB, flash point 13°C / 55°F). Vapors form explosive mixtures with air. Store in grounded, sealed containers with flame arrestors.
