The weight of whole blood at body temperature is 2.315 lbs/liter.
This number was calculated as follows:
Specific density of blood = 1.0506 that of water.
Water weighs 62.4 lbs/ft3.
So blood weighs 62.4 x 1.0506 = 65.56 lbs/ft3.
1 ft3 = 0.02832 m3
So multiplying 65.5 lbs/ft3 x 1 ft3/.02832 m3 = 2314.9 lbs/m3
1 liter = 10-3 m3
Therefore 1 liter of blood weighs 2.3149 lbs.
A human weighing 40 stone would have 8 to 10 pints of blood.
blood volume
blood volume
Blood makes up 7% of the weight of the body in humans. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood
Blood accounts for about 8% of the human body weight. The average adult has a blood volume of about 5 liters (1.3 gallons).
blood volume
The average human has 5 liters of blood in their body. However, this can vary based on factors such as height, weight, sex, and age.
In an adult human has 5.0-6.0 lt of blood pH IS 7.4, about 7-8 percent of body weight.
Typically in an adult human body, there are 5.6 liters of blood, However, children tend to have 2.5-3 liters, depending on their age and weight.
The total blood volume in the average adult is approximately 60-65 ml/kilogram body weight. Children have approximately 70 ml/kilogram body weight and obese patients approximately 55ml/kilogram body weight.
An adult will have about 5 liters (= 5 kilograms) of blood in his body. Assuming that an average adult male would weigh around 80 kilograms, that would make a percentage of 4,25%. About 70% of a human body consists of fluids, by the way; but most of that is water.
No. Only humans have human blood.
