How to Convert Pounds per Cubic Inch to Kilograms per Cubic Meter
To convert from pounds per cubic inch (lb/in³) to kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³), you multiply the density in pounds per cubic inch by 27,679.9. For more information about pounds per cubic inch as a unit of measurement, visit our pounds per cubic inch page.
Formula
Kilograms per Cubic Meter = Pounds per Cubic Inch × 27,679.9
or
kg/m³ = lb/in³ × 27,679.9
Examples
- 0.001 lb/in³ = 0.001 × 27,679.9 = 27.6799 kg/m³
- 0.01 lb/in³ = 0.01 × 27,679.9 = 276.799 kg/m³
- 0.1 lb/in³ = 0.1 × 27,679.9 = 2,767.99 kg/m³
- 1 lb/in³ = 1 × 27,679.9 = 27,679.9 kg/m³
