Unit Description

Milligram per Cubic Centimeter (mg/cm³)

Definition

Milligram per cubic centimeter (mg/cm³) is a unit of density expressing the mass in milligrams contained in one cubic centimeter of volume. It provides finer precision for measuring very low-density materials or trace concentrations.

History

The mg/cm³ unit became important as analytical chemistry and materials science advanced, requiring measurements of very low concentrations and lightweight materials. It became essential for measuring aerosols, foams, and trace substances in various matrices.

Current Use

Mg/cm³ is used in environmental science, analytical chemistry, and materials research for measuring low-density materials, aerosol particles, and trace concentrations. It's important in air quality monitoring, pharmaceutical analysis, and research on lightweight materials.

Pound per Cubic Foot (lb/ft³)

Definition

Pound per cubic foot (lb/ft³) is a unit of density expressing the mass in pounds contained in one cubic foot of volume. It's one of the most commonly used density units in imperial systems for construction and engineering applications.

History

The lb/ft³ unit evolved from traditional English measurements and became standard in American construction and engineering. It provided a convenient scale for measuring building materials, with many common materials having easily remembered values in this unit.

Current Use

Lb/ft³ is extensively used in the United States for construction materials, HVAC calculations, structural engineering, and building codes. It's standard for measuring density of wood, concrete, insulation, and other building materials in American construction industry.
