How do I convert g/cm3 to kg/m3?

Multiply the g/cm3 value by 1,000. For example, 2.7 g/cm3 equals 2,700 kg/m3.

What is the density of water?

Water has a density of about 1,000 kg/m3, or exactly 1 g/cm3 (1 g/mL), at its most dense point near 4 degrees Celsius.

How do I convert lb/ft3 to kg/m3?

Multiply the lb/ft3 value by about 16.0185. For example, 62.4 lb/ft3 (water) equals about 999.6 kg/m3.

What is specific gravity?

Specific gravity is the ratio of a substance's density to the density of a reference material, usually water for liquids and solids. A specific gravity greater than 1 means the substance is denser than water and will sink; less than 1 means it will float.

How do I calculate mass from density and volume?

Multiply density by volume: mass = density times volume. Make sure both values use compatible units, or convert them first.

What is the density of air?

Air at sea level and 15 degrees Celsius has a density of about 1.225 kg/m3, roughly 1/800th the density of water.

Is density the same as weight?

No. Density is mass per unit volume and describes how tightly packed a material's matter is, regardless of the object's size. Weight depends on both mass and gravity, and changes with the size of the object.

How do I convert kg/L to g/mL?

They are numerically identical: 1 kg/L equals exactly 1 g/mL, since both scale a kilogram-to-gram change with a liter-to-milliliter change by the same factor of 1,000.

Is this density converter free to use?

Yes, it is completely free, requires no registration, and runs entirely in your browser with no usage limits.
