How it is calculated
A gram per millilitre matches a gram per cubic centimetre. A gram per litre matches a kilogram per cubic metre.
Result = value × factor of the source unit / factor of the target unit
Where the numbers come from
- Value
- Source unit
Example
1 g/cm³ = 1000 kg/m³. Water at 4 °C is close to 1000 kg/m³.
Questions
Is the density of water always 1 g/cm³?
About that at 4 °C. Warm water is a little lighter. Seawater is heavier because of the salt.
Do g/mL and g/cm³ differ?
Not in this set: a millilitre and a cubic centimetre are both 1 cm³.
Can I calculate density from mass and volume?
There is a separate density calculator for that. Here, figures that are already finished get converted.
