What does centigram per liter measure?

Centigram per liter (cg/L) is a density unit expressing mass per unit volume, commonly used for describing very low mass concentrations in fluids.

Why convert to milligram per cubic millimeter?

Converting to milligram per cubic millimeter is useful for precise density measurements at microscale volumes, such as in biomedical or material science applications.

Is this conversion suitable for bulk materials?

No, this conversion is not ideal for bulk density characterization where larger scale units are more appropriate.
