Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert kg/m³ to g/cm³?
Divide kg/m³ by 1,000. For example, 1,000 kg/m³ = 1 g/cm³. Water has a density of 1,000 kg/m³ or 1 g/cm³.
What's the density of water?
Water has a density of 1,000 kg/m³, 1 g/cm³, or 62.43 lb/ft³ at 4°C. This is often used as a reference point for other materials.
How do I convert lb/ft³ to kg/m³?
Multiply lb/ft³ by 16.0185. For example, 62.43 lb/ft³ (water) = 1,000 kg/m³. This converts imperial density to metric.
What is specific gravity?
Specific gravity is the ratio of a material's density to water's density. It's dimensionless. For example, gold has a specific gravity of 19.3 (19.3 times denser than water).
How do I calculate density?
Density = Mass ÷ Volume. For example, if an object weighs 100 kg and has a volume of 0.1 m³, its density is 1,000 kg/m³. Use our weight and volume converters for the calculations.
