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 Micrograms per litre
The microgram per litre (µg/L) equals 10⁻⁶ kg/m³, numerically equal to mg/m³, and the standard unit for trace-level water quality. EPA maximum contaminant level for arsenic is 10 µg/L; WHO guideline for lead in drinking water is 10 µg/L; pharmaceutical water-for-injection requires total organic carbon below 500 µg/L. 1 µg/L = 10⁻⁶ kg/m³ = 1 mg/m³ = 1 ppb (mass) in dilute aqueous solutions.
