Density converter
How much mass is packed into a volume. 8 units, converted from one table of exact factors.

1 gram/cubic centimeter in every other density unit
Computed by the same engine that runs the converter above, so these can never drift apart from it.
| From | Equals | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| 1 gram/cubic centimeter | 1,000 | kilogram/cubic meter (kg/m³) |
| 1 gram/cubic centimeter | 1 | gram/milliliter (g/mL) |
| 1 gram/cubic centimeter | 1 | kilogram/liter (kg/L) |
| 1 gram/cubic centimeter | 62.42796058 | pound/cubic foot (lb/ft³) |
| 1 gram/cubic centimeter | 0.036127292 | pound/cubic inch (lb/in³) |

| 1 gram/cubic centimeter | 0.578036672 | ounce/cubic inch (oz/in³) |
What each unit actually is
Most converters give you a number and stop. Where a figure is exact by definition we say so, and where it is an average or shifts with conditions we say that too — that is usually the thing you needed to know.
| Unit | Symbol | What it actually is |
|---|---|---|
| kilogram/cubic meter | kg/m³ | SI. Water is about 1,000 of these. |
| gram/cubic centimeter | g/cm³ | Same as kg/L. Water is about 1. |
| gram/milliliter | g/mL | Identical to g/cm³ — a millilitre is a cubic centimetre. |
| kilogram/liter | kg/L | Same number as g/cm³. |
| pound/cubic foot | lb/ft³ | The one used in US construction and drilling. |
| pound/cubic inch | lb/in³ | Metals are usually quoted in this. |
| pound/US gallon | lb/gal | Uses the US gallon, not the imperial one. |
| ounce/cubic inch | oz/in³ |
