Calculation, assumptions and sources

OverviewDensity conversion between kg/m³, g/L, g/cm³, g/mL, kg/L and lb/ft³.

Density conversion between kg/m³, g/L, g/cm³, g/mL, kg/L and lb/ft³. Density links volume and mass, volumetric and mass flow rates, dynamic and kinematic viscosities.

Method & formulasρ = m / V
ρ = m / V1 kg/m³ = 1 g/L (exactly)1 g/cm³ = 1000 kg/m³

Density is the ratio of a mass to a volume. The identity 1 kg/m³ = 1 g/L is exact: the kilogram and the cubic metre are a thousand times the gram and the litre.

Validity domainRelative density (or specific gravity) is the dimensionless ratio between the density of a substance and that of a reference (water at 4 °C for liquids and solids, air for gases).

Relative density (or specific gravity) is the dimensionless ratio between the density of a substance and that of a reference (water at 4 °C for liquids and solids, air for gases). A relative density of 1.2 corresponds to a density of 1200 kg/m³. Relative density, which depends on the reference, is not displayed.
