Convert kg/m³, g/cm³, lb/ft³ and other units of density.
Units of density
Density is mass divided by volume. The SI unit is kg/m³, but g/cm³ and kg/l are also common: 1 g/cm³ = 1,000 kg/m³ = 1 kg/l. Water has a density of about 1,000 kg/m³ at 4 °C and steel about 7,850 kg/m³. An imperial unit is pounds per cubic foot: 1 lb/ft³ is about 16.02 kg/m³.
