Formula
Formula
g/L = g/cm³ × 1000
Multiply any value in grams per cubic centimetre by 1000 to obtain the value in grams per litre.
Worked example
Convert 1 g/cm³ to g/L.
- 01Start with 1 g/cm³.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 1000 = 1000 g/L.
Result1 g/cm³ = 1000 g/L

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from g/cm³ to g/L?
1 g/cm³ equals 1000 g/L. To convert, multiply the value in grams per cubic centimetre by 1000.
How do I convert 1 g/cm³ to g/L?
1 g/cm³ = 1000 g/L. For any value, multiply by 1000.
How do I convert g/L back to g/cm³?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.001. So 1 g/L = 0.001 g/cm³.
When would I need to convert gram per cubic centimetre to gram per litre?
Density conversions are critical for fluid property datasheets, hydraulic head calculations, and reconciling lab measurements (often g/cm³) with process simulator inputs (kg/m³).
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
