Density
Convert pound per cubic foot (lb/ft³) to gram per cubic centimetre (g/cm³). Density is mass per unit volume — it links volumetric and mass flow, sets hydrostatic head, and drives pump and relief calculations.
1 lb/ft³ = 0.01601846 g/cm³
To convert pound per cubic foot to gram per cubic centimetre, multiply the lb/ft³ value by 0.01601846. To go the other way, divide by 0.01601846 (or multiply by 62.42796).
| lb/ft³ | g/cm³ |
|---|---|
| 1 | 0.01601846 |
| 2 | 0.03203693 |
| 5 | 0.08009231 |
| 10 | 0.1601846 |
| 25 | 0.4004616 |
| 50 | 0.8009232 |
| 100 | 1.601846 |
| 250 | 4.004616 |
| 500 | 8.009232 |
| 1000 | 16.01846 |
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 62.42796 lb/ft³ is 1 g/cm³.
Multiply the value in lb/ft³ by 0.01601846 to get g/cm³. For example, 10 lb/ft³ = 0.1601846 g/cm³.
1 lb/ft³ equals 0.01601846 g/cm³.
