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 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.
