Convert Kilograms per Cubic Meter to Grams per Cubic Centimeter

What are kilograms per cubic meter and grams per cubic centimeter?

Kilograms per cubic meter is the SI unit of density; water is about 1,000 kg/m³. Grams per cubic centimeter is a compact density unit; water is 1 g/cm³. For reference: water is 1,000 kg/m³ (1 g/cm³), and steel is about 7,850 kg/m³.

How to convert kilograms per cubic meter to grams per cubic centimeter

1 kg/m³ = 0.001 g/cm³. To convert, multiply the number of kilograms per cubic meter by 0.001. For example, 5 kg/m³ = 0.005 g/cm³, and 20 kg/m³ = 0.02 g/cm³. To go the other way, multiply grams per cubic centimeter by 1,000 (since 1 g/cm³ = 1,000 kg/m³).
