What is g/cm³ to lb/in³ Conversion

g/cm³ to lb/in³ conversion is a unit transformation for density, converting grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) to pounds per cubic inch (lb/in³). This conversion is useful in engineering and material science, where density is expressed in different systems (metric vs. imperial). The conversion factor is derived from the relationships between grams and pounds (1 g = 0.00220462 lb) and cubic centimeters and cubic inches (1 cm³ = 0.0610237 in³), resulting in \(1 \, \text{g/cm³} = 0.0361273 \, \text{lb/in³}\).

For example, a density of 1 g/cm³ converts to 0.03613 lb/in³.

How to Convert g/cm³ to lb/in³

Conversion Formula: The density in lb/in³ is calculated as:

\(\rho_{\text{lb/in³}} = \rho_{\text{g/cm³}} \times 0.0361273\)

Where:

• \(\rho_{\text{lb/in³}}\) = Density in pounds per cubic inch
• \(\rho_{\text{g/cm³}}\) = Density in grams per cubic centimeter

Example Calculation: For a density of 2.5 g/cm³:

1. \(\rho_{\text{lb/in³}} = 2.5 \times 0.0361273 \approx 0.09032 \, \text{lb/in³}\).

Use the form above to input the density in g/cm³, and the calculator will convert it to lb/in³.

Density Units and Conversions

The calculator converts between the following density units:

• Grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³): Base input unit
• Pounds per cubic inch (lb/in³): 1 g/cm³ = 0.0361273 lb/in³

Other common conversions include:

• 1 g/cm³ = 1000 kg/m³
• 1 g/cm³ = 1000 g/L
• 1 lb/in³ = 27679.9 kg/m³

Standard Density Examples

Some standard densities include:

• Water at 4 °C: \(\rho \approx 1.000 \, \text{g/cm³} = 0.03613 \, \text{lb/in³}\)
• Gold: \(\rho \approx 19.32 \, \text{g/cm³} \approx 0.698 \, \text{lb/in³}\)
• Air at sea level: \(\rho \approx 0.001225 \, \text{g/cm³} \approx 0.00004 \, \text{lb/in³}\)

FAQs

How do you convert g/cm³ to lb/in³?

To convert g/cm³ to lb/in³:

1. Take the density value in g/cm³.
2. Multiply by 0.0361273 (since \(1 \, \text{g/cm³} = 0.0361273 \, \text{lb/in³}\)).

What is the density of water in lb/in³ if it is 1 g/cm³?

The density is \(1 \times 0.0361273 \approx 0.03613 \, \text{lb/in³}\).
