Kilotons of TNT to Liter-atmospheres Converter

1 kiloton of TNT (kt) equals 41,292,869,479.4 liter-atmospheres (L⋅atm).

Quick answer

  • 1 kiloton of TNT = 41,292,869,480 liter-atmospheres
  • 1 liter-atmosphere = 2.4217256 × 10-11 kilotons of TNT
  • Formula: L⋅atm = kt × 41,292,869,479.4

1 kiloton of TNT = 41,292,869,480 liter-atmospheres

How to convert kilotons of TNT to liter-atmospheres

L⋅atm = kt × 41,292,869,479.4

To convert kilotons of TNT to liter-atmospheres, multiply the number of kilotons of TNT by 41,292,869,479.4.

Example: 4 kt to L⋅atm

  1. Start with the value in kilotons of TNT: 4 kt.
  2. Multiply by 41,292,869,479.4: 4 × 41,292,869,479.4 = 165,171,477,900.
  3. Result: 4 kilotons of TNT = 165,171,477,900 liter-atmospheres.

Going the other way, 1 liter-atmosphere = 2.4217256 × 10-11 kilotons of TNT, so to convert liter-atmospheres back to kilotons of TNT you divide by the same number. See liter-atmospheres to kilotons of TNT.
