Unit Description
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.
Pound per Cubic Inch (lb/in³)
Definition
Pound per cubic inch (lb/in³) is a unit of density expressing the mass in pounds contained in one cubic inch of volume. It provides high precision for measuring dense materials in small volumes using imperial units.
History
The lb/in³ unit became important in precision engineering and manufacturing in countries using imperial measurements. It was particularly useful for measuring metals, alloys, and other dense materials where high precision was required in small volumes.
Current Use
Lb/in³ is used in American manufacturing, materials engineering, and precision applications for measuring density of metals, alloys, and high-density materials. It's found in engineering specifications, material property tables, and manufacturing quality control.
