Density Converter (kg/m³, g/cm³, lb/ft³)
About Density Converter (kg/m³, g/cm³, lb/ft³)
The Density Converter helps you convert between common density units such as kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³), grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³), and pounds per cubic foot (lb/ft³). It’s especially useful in physics, chemistry, and engineering applications.
Formula (Simple Explanation)›
1 g/cm³ = 1000 kg/m³ = 62.43 lb/ft³
Each unit measures mass per unit volume. The conversion is based on metric and imperial relationships between kilograms, grams, and pounds, and between cubic meters, centimeters, and feet.
Example:
Input: Convert 2.5 g/cm³ to kg/m³
Output: 2.5 × 1000 = 2500 kg/m³
Steps to Use:
- Select the input unit (kg/m³, g/cm³, or lb/ft³).
- Enter the density value you want to convert.
- Choose the unit you want to convert to.
- Click 'Convert' to get the result instantly.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is density?›
Density is the measure of mass per unit volume. It tells how much mass is packed into a given space, usually expressed in kg/m³, g/cm³, or lb/ft³.
How do I convert g/cm³ to kg/m³?›
Multiply the value in g/cm³ by 1000. For example, 2.5 g/cm³ × 1000 = 2500 kg/m³.
How do I convert kg/m³ to lb/ft³?›
Multiply the value in kg/m³ by 0.06243 to get lb/ft³. For example, 1600 kg/m³ × 0.06243 = 99.89 lb/ft³.
Which density unit is used in physics?›
The standard SI unit for density is kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³). However, g/cm³ is often used in laboratory work, and lb/ft³ is common in the U.S. system.
Why does density vary with temperature?›
As temperature increases, most substances expand, decreasing their density. This is why hot air rises and cold water sinks.
