Unit Description
Pound per Cubic Yard (lb/yd³)
Definition
Pound per cubic yard (lb/yd³) is a unit of density expressing the mass in pounds contained in one cubic yard of volume. It's commonly used for measuring bulk materials and construction aggregates in large volumes.
History
The lb/yd³ unit developed from traditional English units and became important in construction and civil engineering in countries using imperial measurements. It provided a practical scale for measuring bulk materials like soil, gravel, and concrete in construction projects.
Current Use
Lb/yd³ is used in construction, civil engineering, and landscaping in the United States for measuring bulk density of soil, aggregate, concrete, and other construction materials. It's standard in construction specifications and material delivery calculations.
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.
