Factor1 g/cm³ = 1000 kg/m³

Converter

g/cm³

Accepts numbers or expressions, e.g. 150 + 14.7

Result
1200kg/m³

Rendered to 6 significant figures.

Formula

Formula
kg/m³ = g/cm³ × 1000

Multiply any value in grams per cubic centimetre by 1000 to obtain the value in kilograms per cubic metre.

Worked example

Convert 1.2 g/cm³ to kg/m³.

  1. 01Start with 1.2 g/cm³.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1.2 × 1000 = 1200 kg/m³.
Result1.2 g/cm³ = 1200 kg/m³

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from g/cm³ to kg/m³?
1 g/cm³ equals 1000 kg/m³. To convert, multiply the value in grams per cubic centimetre by 1000.
How do I convert 1 g/cm³ to kg/m³?
1 g/cm³ = 1000 kg/m³. For any value, multiply by 1000.
How do I convert kg/m³ back to g/cm³?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.001. So 1 kg/m³ = 0.001 g/cm³.
When would I need to convert gram per cubic centimetre to kilogram per cubic metre?
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).
