About Density Conversion

Density conversion between kg/m³ and g/cm³ is fundamental in physics, chemistry, and engineering. These units express mass per unit volume, with 1 g/cm³ equaling exactly 1000 kg/m³.

Common Density Values

Material	g/cm³	kg/m³
Water (4°C)	1.00	1000
Air (sea level)	0.0013	1.3
Iron	7.87	7870

FAQ

Why is 1 g/cm³ equal to 1000 kg/m³?

1 gram = 0.001 kg and 1 cm³ = 0.000001 m³, so density = mass/volume = 0.001 kg / 0.000001 m³ = 1000 kg/m³.

Are these SI units?

kg/m³ is the SI unit for density. g/cm³ is accepted for use with SI and is more convenient for many practical measurements.

How precise are these conversions?

The conversion factor is exact since it's based on SI definitions. However, measured densities may have experimental uncertainty.
