How to Convert Gram per Cubic Centimeter to Kilogram per Cubic Meter
- 1 g/cm³ = 1000 kg/m³
- 1 kg/m³ = 0.001 g/cm³
- Example: convert 15 g/cm³ to kg/m³: 15 g/cm³ = 15 × 1000 kg/m³ = 15000 kg/m³
Formula
kg/m³ = g/cm³ × 1000
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 g/cm³ = 10⁻³ kg ÷ 10⁻⁶ m³ = 1000 kg/m³
- 1 kg/m³ = 1 kg ÷ 1 m³
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Gram per Cubic Centimeter definition: gram per cubic centimeter; Kilogram per Cubic Meter definition: kilogram per cubic meter.
Worked examples
- Steel at 7.85 g/cm³ has a density of 7850 kg/m³.
7.85 g/cm³ × 1000 = 7850 kg/m³ - Aluminium at 2.7 g/cm³ is 2700 kg/m³.
2.7 g/cm³ × 1000 = 2700 kg/m³

Frequently asked questions
Is g/cm³ the same as g/mL?
Yes. 1 mL = 1 cm³, so 1 g/mL = 1 g/cm³ = 1000 kg/m³.
How many kilograms per cubic meter are in 1 gram per cubic centimeter?
1 g/cm³ = 1000 kg/m³.
How do I convert grams per cubic centimeter to kilograms per cubic meter?
Multiply the value in g/cm³ by 1000. For example, 15 g/cm³ × 1000 = 15000 kg/m³.
Is the g/cm³ to kg/m³ conversion exact?
Yes. Both units are defined exactly, and 1 g/cm³ is exactly 1000 kg/m³.
