Use the units and choices shown for each field. Sample values are provided for practice, not as recommendations.
| Input | Format and units | Sample |
|---|---|---|
| Value | Numeric value. Zero or positive. | 1 |
| From | Choose kg/m³ / g/cm³ / g/L / kg/L. | g/cm³ |
| To | Choose kg/m³ / g/cm³ / g/L / kg/L. | kg/m³ |

Select Try the example in the form to load these values and calculate them again. This replaces the current form inputs. Compare the result with the method and worked explanation below.
The method, explained
Convert to the base unit, then divide by the target factor. One g/cm³ equals 1,000 kg/m³. One g/L equals 1 kg/m³.
1 g/cm³ = 1,000 kg/m³; 1 kg/L = 1 g/cm³.
What to keep in mind
The tool converts a supplied density; it does not look up a material. Density can vary with temperature and pressure.
Common questions
Is density the same as specific gravity?
No. Density has units; specific gravity is a ratio to a reference density.
Can I calculate mass from density?
Yes: mass equals density times volume when both use compatible units.
