Convert density - mass per unit volume - between metric and imperial units. Note that g/cm³, g/mL and kg/L are numerically identical (water is about 1 g/cm³ at 4 °C), which is why both g/cm³ and kg/L are listed here.
To turn a volume into a mass, multiply by density; use the volume and weight converters for the other numbers.
Compare metals, plastics and fluids given in g/cm³, kg/m³ or lb/ft³.
Convert ingredient and liquid densities when scaling recipes by weight or volume.
Estimate cargo mass from volume using density in kg/m³ or lb/ft³.
Fresh water is about 1,000 kg/m³ = 1 g/cm³ = 62.43 lb/ft³ at 4 °C. Values above are denser and sink; values below float.
Density changes with temperature and pressure. Conversions here are exact between units but do not adjust for conditions.
Multiply by 1,000. For example, 7.85 g/cm³ (steel) is 7,850 kg/m³.
Multiply pounds per cubic foot by 16.01846. For example, 62.4 lb/ft³ ≈ 999.5 kg/m³.
Yes, because 1 milliliter is exactly 1 cubic centimeter.
About 1,000 kg/m³ (1 g/cm³) at 4 °C; it is slightly lower at higher temperatures.
