About Ounces per cubic inch
The ounce per cubic inch (oz/in³) equals ≈1729.994 kg/m³, a US customary unit for dense compact materials. Precision ballistic-projectile and machined-component datasheets give density in oz/in³: structural steel ≈4.51 oz/in³, lead ≈6.55 oz/in³, gold ≈11.16 oz/in³. Also found in explosive loading-density specifications. 1 oz/in³ = (1/16) lb/in³ ≈108.12 lb/ft³ ≈1729.994 kg/m³.
About Slugs per cubic foot
The slug per cubic foot (slug/ft³) equals ≈515.379 kg/m³, used in US customary dynamics where forces are in pound-force. The US Standard Atmosphere gives sea-level air density as 2.377 × 10⁻³ slug/ft³; it appears in pre-SI aerospace textbooks (NACA technical notes) and compressible flow equations. 1 slug ≈14.594 kg. 1 slug/ft³ ≈515.379 kg/m³ ≈32.174 lb/ft³.
