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.
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).
