What does dekagram per liter (dag/L) measure?

Dekagram per liter is a metric mass density unit representing the amount of mass in dekagrams contained in one liter of volume.

Why convert dag/L to pound per cubic foot?

The conversion is useful for expressing density data in imperial units, which are commonly used in the United States for engineering and industrial applications.

Can this conversion factor handle temperature variations?

No, the conversion assumes standard conditions and does not include corrections for changes in temperature or pressure.
