About this calculator

Enter a value and choose the units.

How to use it

  1. Enter the value.
  2. Choose the unit it is in and the unit you want.
  3. Read the result, or see every unit in the table.

The formula

Result = value × (kg/m³ in the “from” unit) ÷ (kg/m³ in the “to” unit)
1 g/cm³
1,000 kg/m³ = 1 kg/L
1 lb/ft³
16.02 kg/m³

Worked example

Water

  1. 1 g/cm³ = 1,000 kg/m³.
  2. = 62.43 lb/ft³.

What the result means

The factors are exact international definitions, so results are as accurate as the digits shown.

Assumptions

  • Density at a fixed temperature.

Limitations

  • Density of liquids and gases changes with temperature.

Frequently asked questions

What is the density of water?

About 1,000 kg/m³ (1 g/cm³).

Is g/ml the same as g/cm³?

Yes.

How do I find weight from volume?

Weight = volume × density.
