How to Convert Pounds per Cubic Foot to Grams per Milliliter
To convert from pounds per cubic foot (lb/ft³) to grams per milliliter (g/mL), 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 Milliliter = Pounds per Cubic Foot / 62.42796
or
g/mL = lb/ft³ / 62.42796
Examples
- 1 lb/ft³ = 1 / 62.42796 = 0.0160185 g/mL
- 10 lb/ft³ = 10 / 62.42796 = 0.160185 g/mL
- 62.42796 lb/ft³ = 62.42796 / 62.42796 = 1 g/mL
- 100 lb/ft³ = 100 / 62.42796 = 1.60185 g/mL
