g/cm³ to kg/m³ Converter

Unit Relationship

1 g/cm³ = 1000 kg/m³.

Worked Example

For example, 1 grams per cubic centimetre (g/cm³) converts to approximately 1000 kilograms per cubic metre (kg/m³).

Unit Definitions

g/cm³: Grams per cubic centimetre (g/cm³) is a metric unit of mass density.

kg/m³: Kilograms per cubic metre (kg/m³) is the SI unit commonly used to express mass density.

Practical Uses

soil and aggregate property calculations
concrete and construction material comparisons
geotechnical and structural engineering calculations
converting material density or unit-weight data between unit systems

Precision and Rounding

Displayed results may be rounded for readability. Retain additional digits during intermediate engineering calculations when greater precision is required.

Important Notes

Density and unit weight are related but are not identical physical quantities. Density is mass per unit volume, while unit weight is weight per unit volume. Confirm which quantity your source data represents before applying an engineering conversion.

Quick Reference

g/cm³	kg/m³
1	1000
1.8	1800
2	2000
2.4	2400

Kilograms per cubic meter is also commonly written as kg/m³ or kg/m3.

Engineering context

This conversion is commonly used for soil unit weight, material density, aggregate density, concrete density, and geotechnical report values.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert grams per cubic centimetre (g/cm³) to kilograms per cubic metre (kg/m³)?

Enter the value in grams per cubic centimetre (g/cm³) above. The converter applies the established conversion factor and returns the equivalent value in kilograms per cubic metre (kg/m³).

What is the difference between density and unit weight?

Density is mass per unit volume. Unit weight is weight per unit volume and therefore depends on gravitational acceleration.

Can I convert in the opposite direction?

Yes. Use the reverse conversion link provided on this page.
