How to Convert Pounds per Cubic Foot to Pounds per Cubic Inch
To convert from pounds per cubic foot (lb/ft³) to pounds per cubic inch (lb/in³), you divide the density in pounds per cubic foot by 1,728. For more information about pounds per cubic foot as a unit of measurement, visit our pounds per cubic foot page.
Formula
Pounds per Cubic Inch = Pounds per Cubic Foot / 1,728
or
lb/in³ = lb/ft³ / 1,728
Examples
- 1 lb/ft³ = 1 / 1,728 = 0.000578704 lb/in³
- 10 lb/ft³ = 10 / 1,728 = 0.00578704 lb/in³
- 100 lb/ft³ = 100 / 1,728 = 0.0578704 lb/in³
- 1,000 lb/ft³ = 1,000 / 1,728 = 0.578704 lb/in³
