What does centigram per liter (cg/L) measure?

Centigram per liter measures mass density as centigrams of mass per liter of volume, used for describing very low mass concentrations in fluids.

When should I use pound per cubic inch (lb/in^3)?

Pound per cubic inch is useful for expressing density of metals, alloys, and materials in industrial and engineering contexts where dimensions are in inches.

Why are conversions between cg/L and lb/in^3 often small numbers?

Because cg/L represents very low densities and lb/in^3 measures high density materials, converting between them typically yields very small numerical results.
