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.
Ounce per Cubic Foot (oz/ft³)
Definition
Ounce per cubic foot (oz/ft³) is a unit of density expressing the mass in ounces contained in one cubic foot of volume. It provides a finer scale than pounds per cubic foot for measuring lighter materials.
History
The oz/ft³ unit developed as a subdivision of lb/ft³ to provide more precise measurements for lightweight materials. It became useful in industries dealing with low-density materials where lb/ft³ would result in very small decimal values.
Current Use
Oz/ft³ is used in the United States for measuring lightweight materials, insulation, packaging materials, and low-density products. It's found in specifications for foam, fiber insulation, and other materials where precise low-density measurements are needed.
