Conversion Formula
g/L = kg/m³ × 1
About Kilograms per cubic metre
The kilogram per cubic metre (kg/m³) is the SI coherent derived unit of density. Air at standard sea level is ≈1.225 kg/m³; fresh water at 4°C is ≈999.97 kg/m³; liquid mercury is 13 534 kg/m³; osmium (densest stable element) is 22 590 kg/m³. Used in the continuity equation, Bernoulli's principle, and all SI-based fluid dynamics calculations. 1 kg/m³ = 1 g/L ≈0.06243 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).
