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 Kilograms per litre
The kilogram per litre (kg/L) equals 1000 kg/m³, numerically identical to g/cm³ and t/m³, and preferred in industrial process engineering and chemical logistics. Dense liquids appear on safety data sheets in kg/L: sulfuric acid 1.84 kg/L, mercury 13.53 kg/L, bromine 3.10 kg/L. International bulk-liquid container certification requires density in kg/L. 1 kg/L = 1000 kg/m³ = 1 g/cm³ ≈8.345 lb/gal (US).
