g/cm³ to kg/m³ (g/cm³ to kg/m³)
Result
1,000 kg/m³
Formula
kg/m³ = g/cm³ × 1,000
1 g/cm³ = 1,000 kg/m³, and 1 kg/m³ = 0.001 g/cm³.
Standard gravity is defined as exactly 9.80665 m/s². Density and flow factors follow from the length, mass and volume definitions (for example 1 US gallon per minute = 3.785411784 L/min).
Worked examples
- 1 g/cm³ × 1,000 = 1,000 kg/m³
- 10 g/cm³ × 1,000 = 10,000 kg/m³
- 100 g/cm³ × 1,000 = 100,000 kg/m³
Common mistakes
- Actual gravity varies from about 9.78 m/s² at the equator to 9.83 m/s² at the poles; "g" here is the defined standard value.
- GPM here means US gallons per minute; UK pump literature may use imperial gallons (4.546 L).
