Good to know
1 g/cm³ = 1 g/ml = 1 kg/L = 1,000 kg/m³. 1 lb/ft³ = 16.0185 kg/m³.
Typical values: water about 1,000 kg/m³, petrol about 740, diesel about 830, cement (bulk) about 1,440, steel about 7,850 kg/m³. These vary with temperature and grade.
Density links weight and volume: weight = volume × density. For example 1 L of diesel at 0.83 kg/L weighs 0.83 kg.
