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).
About Pounds per cubic foot
The pound per cubic foot (lb/ft³) equals ≈16.018 kg/m³, widely used in US construction, soil mechanics, and insulation specifications. Softwood framing lumber averages 25-35 lb/ft³; compacted soil 90-130 lb/ft³; fresh water ≈62.43 lb/ft³; concrete 145-150 lb/ft³. ASTM standards for concrete, soil, and geotextiles routinely cite lb/ft³. 1 lb/ft³ = 0.45359237/0.028316846592 kg/m³ ≈16.018 kg/m³.
