Unit Description
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.
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.
