Convert g/cm³ to lbs/in³ (Grams per Cubic Centimeter to Pounds per Cubic Inch)

1 g/cm³ equals about

0.0361 lbs/in³

How to Convert g/cm³ to lbs/in³

The gram per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) is the most common metric unit for expressing the density of solids and liquids in chemistry and materials science, while pounds per cubic inch (lbs/in³) is the equivalent imperial unit, often used for small, dense components and precision-machined parts.

The Conversion Formula

To convert a measurement from g/cm³ to lbs/in³, simply multiply the value by 0.0361:

lbs/in³ = g/cm³ × 0.0361

To convert from lbs/in³ to g/cm³, perform the inverse operation, multiplying by 27.6799:

g/cm³ = lbs/in³ × 27.6799

Practical Examples

  • 1 g/cm³ ≈ 0.0361 lbs/in³ (density of water)
  • 2.7 g/cm³ ≈ 0.0975 lbs/in³ (density of aluminum)
  • 7.85 g/cm³ ≈ 0.2835 lbs/in³ (density of steel)
  • 19.3 g/cm³ ≈ 0.6972 lbs/in³ (density of gold)

When This Conversion Is Needed

This conversion is common in precision engineering and manufacturing, where small components with high density (metals, alloys) are specified using small-scale units on both sides of the metric/imperial divide, particularly in aerospace and machining industries.
