Density calculator
Calculate density from measured mass and volume in kg/m³ and g/mL.
Formula
ρ = mass (kg) / volume (m³)
Mass: 10 lb · Volume: 1 ft³ · Density (kg/m³) ≈ (10 lb × 0.45359237 kg/lb)÷(1 ft³ × 28.31684659 L/ft³)×1000 · Density (g/mL) ≈ (10 lb × 0.45359237 kg/lb)÷(1 ft³ × 28.31684659 L/ft³)
How to use
- Enter the mass.
- Choose the volume and unit.
- Read both density units.
Examples
- 10 kg in 5 L gives 2000 kg/m³.
Frequently asked questions
What is density?
Mass divided by the volume occupied by the sample.
Is g/mL equal to g/cm³?
Yes; 1 mL is 1 cm³.
Is this a material database?
No. Use measurements at the relevant temperature.
