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 Milligrams per litre
The milligram per litre (mg/L) equals 10⁻³ kg/m³ and is the dominant unit in water chemistry and environmental analysis. Numerically equivalent to ppm (mass) for dilute aqueous solutions; WHO drinking-water guideline for nitrate is 50 mg/L, for fluoride 1.5 mg/L. Biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and total suspended solids (TSS) are all reported in mg/L. 1 mg/L = 10⁻³ kg/m³ = 1 g/m³.
