Unit Description
Gram per Milliliter (g/mL)
Definition
Gram per milliliter (g/mL) is a unit of density expressing the mass in grams contained in one milliliter of volume. It is numerically equivalent to grams per cubic centimeter and is commonly used for liquids and small volume measurements.
History
The g/mL unit emerged with the development of the metric system and became particularly important in chemistry and medicine. It gained prominence as laboratory work required precise density measurements for solutions, pharmaceuticals, and chemical compounds in small volumes.
Current Use
G/mL is extensively used in chemistry, pharmacology, medicine, and laboratory sciences. It's standard for measuring density of solutions, medications, biological fluids, and chemical reagents. Medical laboratories use it for urine specific gravity, blood components, and pharmaceutical preparations.
Pound per Gallon (lb/gal)
Definition
Pound per gallon (lb/gal) is a unit of density expressing the mass in pounds contained in one gallon of volume. It's commonly used for measuring liquid densities in imperial systems, particularly in industrial and commercial applications.
History
The lb/gal unit developed from traditional English measurements and became important in industries dealing with liquids in countries using imperial units. It was particularly useful in petroleum, chemical, and food industries for measuring liquid product densities.
Current Use
Lb/gal is used in the United States for petroleum products, chemicals, food processing, and industrial liquids. It's standard in fuel specifications, chemical processing, brewing, and other industries dealing with liquid products in imperial measurements.
