Density
Convert gram per cubic centimetre (g/cm³) to pound per cubic foot (lb/ft³). Density is mass per unit volume — it links volumetric and mass flow, sets hydrostatic head, and drives pump and relief calculations.
1 g/cm³ = 62.42796 lb/ft³
To convert gram per cubic centimetre to pound per cubic foot, multiply the g/cm³ value by 62.42796. To go the other way, divide by 62.42796 (or multiply by 0.01601846).
| g/cm³ | lb/ft³ |
|---|---|
| 1 | 62.42796 |
| 2 | 124.8559 |
| 5 | 312.1398 |
| 10 | 624.2796 |
| 25 | 1560.699 |
| 50 | 3121.398 |
| 100 | 6242.796 |
| 250 | 15606.99 |
| 500 | 31213.98 |
| 1000 | 62427.96 |
Liquid densities are quoted in kg/m³ or as specific gravity; gas densities are much smaller and pressure-dependent.
Density converts a volumetric flow to a mass flow and vice versa — the single most common bridge in a material balance.
Worked example. A density of 1 g/cm³ is 62.42796 lb/ft³.
Multiply the value in g/cm³ by 62.42796 to get lb/ft³. For example, 10 g/cm³ = 624.2796 lb/ft³.
1 g/cm³ equals 62.42796 lb/ft³.
