Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does pound per cubic foot measure?
-
It measures mass concentration indicating how many pounds of mass are contained in one cubic foot of volume.
-
Where is pound per gallon (UK) mainly used?
-
It is mainly used in the UK and Commonwealth countries for specifying solution concentrations in industrial and agricultural settings.
-
Can I use this conversion tool for US gallons?
-
No, this tool converts only to pound per UK gallon, which differs from US gallon measurements.
Key Terminology
-
Pound per cubic foot (lb/ft^3)
-
An imperial unit of mass concentration representing one pound of mass per cubic foot of volume.
-
Pound per UK gallon
-
A mass-concentration unit showing pounds of substance per imperial UK gallon of solution, used mostly in UK-related applications.
-
Mass concentration
-
The amount of mass of a substance contained in a given volume of solution or fluid.
