Re: Cat litter, how to convert ltrs into pounds?
I wish I could help - I find it annoying when some packs are in volume and others are measured by weight! How are we supposed to compare I know for some things 1g = 1ml but don't know if that works for cat litter or how to convert that to pounds

Re: Cat litter, how to convert ltrs into pounds?
Since we have two distincty different units of measurement here ie litres ( capacity ) and pounds (mass) the only way to convert one to the other is by weighing the litter. Only then is it possible to have a 'conversion formula' which will be specific to that particular litter only since density varies from one type to the next.

I worked out that litres is double kilos. So a 30l bag of litter is the same as a 15kg bag

This. Obviously 1 litre of clay litter is going to weigh considerably more than 1 litre of Oko Plus.

Not necessarily. 30l of one type of litter won't weigh the same as 30l of another type, due to different densities. So you can't really convert between the two.

Re: Cat litter, how to convert ltrs into pounds?
well i would the bag on the bathroom scales if its too heavy to weigh any other way. i always thought roughly 30l was equivalent to 30lbs but maybe i am wrong
