About Pounds per cubic inch
The pound per cubic inch (lb/in³) equals ≈27 679.9 kg/m³, the standard US customary unit for engineering material density. Mechanical engineering handbooks list metals in lb/in³: steel 0.284, aluminium 0.098, copper 0.324, tungsten 0.697, lead 0.410. FEA software (ANSYS, Nastran) configured with US unit sets reads material density as lb/in³. 1 lb/in³ = 1728 lb/ft³ = 16 oz/in³ ≈27 679.9 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).
