How to Convert Pounds per Cubic Foot to Grams per Cubic Centimeter
To convert from pounds per cubic foot (lb/ft³) to grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³), you divide the density in pounds per cubic foot by 62.42796. For more information about pounds per cubic foot as a unit of measurement, visit our pounds per cubic foot page.
Formula
Grams per Cubic Centimeter = Pounds per Cubic Foot / 62.42796
or
g/cm³ = lb/ft³ / 62.42796
Examples
- 1 lb/ft³ = 1 / 62.42796 = 0.0160185 g/cm³
- 10 lb/ft³ = 10 / 62.42796 = 0.160185 g/cm³
- 62.42796 lb/ft³ = 62.42796 / 62.42796 = 1 g/cm³
- 100 lb/ft³ = 100 / 62.42796 = 1.60185 g/cm³
