What is the Capacity of a Kitchen Sink?

Knowing the capacity of your kitchen sink is important when looking for the ideal style and size for the sink in your home. Capacity affects your ability to perform certain washing and cooking tasks, and it determines the effectiveness of your sink in the long run.

How to Measure Sink Capacity？

When it comes to sink size, this involves the length and width of the sink as well as the depth of the bowl. Simply multiply the depth of the bowl by the width of the bowl and the length of the sink to get the volume or capacity. And it's worth noting that we're unlikely to fill up the sink during daily use, so consider subtracting a few inches from your kitchen sink height measurement to get a realistic measurement.

How many liters of water does a normal kitchen sink hold?

Capacity varies with depth, and most sinks typically have a capacity of 20 liters.

Which is better：Large Capacity or Small Capacity？

There is no denying that large kitchen sink sizes have advantages over small kitchen sink sizes.

● A larger capacity sink can hold more dishes, fruit and water for cleaning. However, larger-capacity sinks require more countertop space; therefore, you have less space to prepare
●  Large capacity sinks are also heavier when full, so they will pull over the countertop, putting more weight and stress on the cabinets.
