About US gallons per pound
The US gallon per pound (gal (US)/lb) equals 0.003785411784 / 0.45359237 ≈0.0083454 m³/kg, used in American chemical process engineering. Specific volume of cooling water and process fluids is cited in gal (US)/lb in pre-metric Perry's Chemical Engineers' Handbook tables. 1 gal (US)/lb ≈0.0083454 m³/kg ≈8.345 L/kg.
About Cubic metres per gram
The cubic metre per gram (m³/g) equals 1000 m³/kg, used for ultra-low-density media. Highly porous aerogels achieve apparent specific volumes of 0.5-10 m³/g; bulk activated-carbon specific volumes reach 1-3 m³/g per BET surface measurements. Atmospheric aerosol specific volume and trace-gas concentration calculations also employ m³/g. 1 m³/g = 1000 m³/kg = 10⁶ cm³/g.
