Unit Description
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.
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.
