Unit Description
Gram per Cubic Centimeter (g/cm³)
Definition
Gram per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) is a unit of density expressing the mass in grams contained in one cubic centimeter of volume. It is numerically equivalent to grams per milliliter and provides a convenient scale for most materials.
History
The g/cm³ unit developed alongside the metric system and became widely adopted because it provides convenient numerical values for most common materials. Water has a density of approximately 1 g/cm³, making it an intuitive reference point for density comparisons.
Current Use
G/cm³ is commonly used in materials science, geology, manufacturing, and education. It's standard for reporting density of solids, minerals, metals, and polymers. Many material property databases and engineering references use g/cm³ for material specifications.
Kilogram per Cubic Meter (kg/m³)
Definition
Kilogram per cubic meter (kg/m³) is the SI base unit of density, expressing the mass in kilograms contained in one cubic meter of volume. It serves as the fundamental density unit in the International System of Units.
History
The kg/m³ unit was established as part of the International System of Units (SI) when it was formalized in 1960. It became the standard scientific unit for density measurements, replacing various regional units and providing a universal reference for scientific and engineering applications.
Current Use
Kg/m³ is universally used in scientific research, engineering, materials science, and international standards. It's essential for material specifications, fluid mechanics, atmospheric science, and any application requiring precise density measurements in scientific contexts.
