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 Milligrams per cubic metre
The milligram per cubic metre (mg/m³) equals 10⁻⁶ kg/m³, the reference unit for industrial occupational exposure limits (OELs). NIOSH REL for respirable crystalline silica is 0.05 mg/m³; OSHA PEL for Portland cement 15 mg/m³; ACGIH TLV for calcium carbonate dust 10 mg/m³. Numerically equal to µg/L, bridging airborne and aqueous analysis. 1 mg/m³ = 10⁻⁶ kg/m³ = 1 µg/L.
