Density Converters

Convert between common SI and imperial density units used in materials, fluids, and engineering calculations.

Explanation

All density factors here are derived through kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³). Metric volumetric-density forms (g/cm³, g/mL, kg/L) align exactly at 1000 kg/m³, while imperial and slug-based units are normalized through fixed kilogram and meter definitions.

How to use this hub

  1. Choose a converter family.
  2. If converting to/from grams from a volume unit, select an ingredient.
  3. For pure unit changes (volume↔volume or weight↔weight), use universal conversions.

If your conversion includes grams, you’ll choose an ingredient; otherwise you won’t.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are g/cm³, g/mL, and kg/L equal?

They represent equivalent mass/volume scales, so each equals exactly 1000 kg/m³.

Why include slug/ft³?

Slug-based density is common in some US engineering contexts where force-mass relationships are expressed in imperial units.
