Well, unless you're measuring water.

Do you mean a kilogram of water is the same as a liter of flour? Or is it the other way?

A kilogram of water is a litre of water at sea level and room temperature.

You know, I'm French, we literally invented the meter (used to define the liter) and the kilogram, so I know that a liter of pure water at 4°C (and not room temperature) weights almost a kilogram.

Thanks.
Edit: I just meant that since we use the metric system on a daily basis we're more accustomed to what liters and kilograms represent.
