Gram per cubic centimeter quick reference
| Gram per cubic centimeter | Kilogram per cubic meter | Pound per cubic inch | Gram per cubic meter |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 g/cm³ | = 1000 kg/m³ | ≈ 0.036127292 lb/in³ | = 1000000 g/m³ |
| 10 g/cm³ | = 10000 kg/m³ | ≈ 0.36127292 lb/in³ | = 10000000 g/m³ |
| 100 g/cm³ | = 100000 kg/m³ | ≈ 3.6127292 lb/in³ | = 100000000 g/m³ |
| 1000 g/cm³ | = 1000000 kg/m³ | ≈ 36.127292 lb/in³ | = 1000000000 g/m³ |
