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 kilogram
The cubic metre per kilogram (m³/kg) is the SI coherent derived unit of specific volume - the reciprocal of density. In steam and refrigerant thermodynamics, m³/kg appears in state tables: water at 100°C, 0.1 MPa has specific volume 1.674 m³/kg (vapour) and 1.044 × 10⁻³ m³/kg (liquid). The specific gas constant and molar volume calculations use m³/kg. 1 m³/kg = 1000 L/kg = 1000 cm³/g.
