Overview

Convert kg/m³ and g/cm³ when transferring material density data into engineering calculations.

Formula

1 g/cm³ = 1,000 kg/m³
kg/m³ = g/cm³ × 1,000

Example

7.85 g/cm³ equals 7,850 kg/m³. A density of 1,000 kg/m³ equals 1 g/cm³.

Engineering notes

Specific gravity is a dimensionless ratio, not a density unit.
Temperature effects and material properties are not estimated. Enter the density from your specification.

Frequently asked questions FAQ

Is a specific gravity of 7.85 identical to a density of 7.85?

Check the density unit and reference conditions. Density equals specific gravity multiplied by the reference density.

Does display precision change the calculation?

No. Rounding is applied only to displayed results, not intermediate calculations. Small nonzero values use scientific notation. Consider the precision of the original measurements when interpreting results.
