How to Convert Kilogram per Cubic Meter to Gram per Cubic Centimeter
- 1 kg/m³ = 0.001 g/cm³
- 1 g/cm³ = 1000 kg/m³
- Example: convert 15 kg/m³ to g/cm³: 15 kg/m³ = 15 × 0.001 g/cm³ = 0.015 g/cm³
Formula
g/cm³ = kg/m³ ÷ 1000
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 kg/m³ = 1 kg ÷ 1 m³
- 1 g/cm³ = 10⁻³ kg ÷ 10⁻⁶ m³ = 1000 kg/m³
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Kilogram per Cubic Meter definition: kilogram per cubic meter; Gram per Cubic Centimeter definition: gram per cubic centimeter.
Worked examples
- Water at 20 °C, 998.2 kg/m³, is 0.9982 g/cm³.
998.2 kg/m³ × 0.001 = 0.9982 g/cm³ - Seawater at about 1025 kg/m³ is 1.025 g/cm³.
1025 kg/m³ × 0.001 = 1.025 g/cm³
