Kilogram per Cubic Meter (kg/m³) in Density

What is Kilogram per cubic meter (kg/m³)

Kilogram per cubic meter (kg/m³) is a unit of measurement that indicates the density of a material. Density is defined as the mass of an object divided by its volume. In mathematical terms, density (ρ) can be represented as:

where m is the mass in kilograms and V is the volume in cubic meters.

The kg/m³ unit is commonly used in various fields such as physics, engineering, and material science. It helps in comparing the densities of different substances. For example, the density of water is approximately 1000 kg/m³, meaning that one cubic meter of water has a mass of about 1000 kilograms. The kg/m³ unit allows for easy calculations and conversions when dealing with materials of varying densities.

Common Conversion Values

When working with kg/m³, it's often necessary to convert this measurement into other units of density. Below are some common conversion values:

• 1 (kg/m³) = 0.001 (t/m³)
• 1 (kg/m³) = 0.001 (kg/dm³)
• 1 (kg/m³) = 0.001 (kg/L)
• 1 (kg/m³) = 1000 (g/m³)
• 1 (kg/m³) = 0.001 (g/cm³)
• 1 (kg/m³) = 1 (g/L)
• 1 (kg/m³) = 0.001 (g/mL)
• 1 (kg/m³) = 0.06242796 (lb/ft³)
• 1 (kg/m³) = 0.00003612729 (lb/in³)
• 1 (kg/m³) = 0.008345404 (lb/gal)
• 1 (kg/m³) = 0.9988474 (oz/ft³)
• 1 (kg/m³) = 0.0005780367 (oz/in³)
• 1 (kg/m³) = 0.1335265 (oz/gal)

Understanding these conversion factors is essential for scientists, engineers, and anyone working with materials to ensure that they have the right measurements for their applications.
