Convert Grams per cubic centimetre to Grams per litre
Convert Grams per cubic centimetre (g/cm³) to Grams per litre (g/L) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
g/L = g/cm³ × 1000
About Grams per cubic centimetre
The gram per cubic centimetre (g/cm³) equals 1000 kg/m³, the most intuitive density unit in material science and chemistry. It equals 1 kg/L and 1 t/m³. Pure water at 4°C is 0.9998 g/cm³; aluminium 2.70 g/cm³; iron 7.87 g/cm³; gold 19.30 g/cm³; osmium 22.59 g/cm³. Polymer datasheets, mineralogy, and gemological tables routinely use g/cm³. 1 g/cm³ = 1000 kg/m³ ≈62.428 lb/ft³.
About Grams per litre
The gram per litre (g/L) equals 1 kg/m³, numerically identical to kg/m³ but preferred in life sciences and food technology. Blood glucose is reported in g/L in European clinical practice (normal fasting: 0.7-1.0 g/L); intravenous glucose solutions are 50 g/L (5%) or 100 g/L (10%). Fermentation engineers track biomass and substrate concentration in g/L. 1 g/L = 1 kg/m³ ≈8.345 × 10⁻³ lb/gal (US).
