What does decigram per liter measure?

Decigram per liter measures mass concentration or density, representing one tenth of a gram per liter of volume.

When should I use kilogram per cubic centimeter?

Kilogram per cubic centimeter is used to express extremely high density values, such as in astrophysics or high-pressure materials research.

Why are values small when converting from dg/L to kg/cm³?

Because kilogram per cubic centimeter represents a much larger density unit, converting from a low concentration unit like dg/L results in very small numerical values.
