Enter the density value in grain per cubic foot (gr/ft³).
-
Select kilogram per cubic centimeter as the target unit.
-
Click the convert button to view the equivalent density value.
Key Features
-
Converts density from grain/cubic foot to kilogram/cubic centimeter accurately.
-
Supports conversions relevant to HVAC, air quality, astrophysics, and high-pressure material studies.
-
Browser-based tool requiring no installation for quick access.
Examples
-
Converting 500 gr/ft³ results in approximately 1.14 × 10⁻⁶ kg/cm³.
-
Converting 1000 gr/ft³ results in approximately 2.29 × 10⁻⁶ kg/cm³.
Common Use Cases
-
Calculating absolute humidity and moisture content in HVAC systems using grain per cubic foot.
-
Reporting airborne particulate concentration for industrial and occupational ventilation.
-
Analyzing extremely dense materials or astrophysical densities with kilogram per cubic centimeter.
-
Converting legacy density units into SI-related metrics for scientific research.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use scientific notation when interpreting very small conversion results for clarity.
-
Verify units before conversion to ensure proper context and accuracy.
-
Apply this converter primarily when transitioning between low-density air measurements and high-density material research.
Limitations
-
Converted values are extremely small and may require scientific notation to read easily.
-
The unit grain/cubic foot pertains mostly to low-density air or moisture content, while kilogram/cubic centimeter applies to very high density contexts, limiting overlap in practical uses.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does grain per cubic foot [gr/ft³] measure?
-
It is a unit of mass density representing one grain of mass per one cubic foot of volume, commonly used to measure moisture or particulate concentrations in air.
-
When is kilogram per cubic centimeter used?
-
This unit describes very high densities, such as those found in astrophysics or high-pressure materials research, and is used when dealing with large mass in very small volumes.
-
Why are conversion results between these units so small?
-
Because kilogram per cubic centimeter is a much larger density unit compared to grain per cubic foot, the converted values become very small numbers.
Key Terminology
-
grain/cubic foot [gr/ft³]
-
A density unit defining mass as grains per one cubic foot volume, often used in moisture content and particulate air measurements.
-
kilogram/cubic centimeter
-
A density unit representing kilograms of mass per cubic centimeter of volume, typically applied in contexts involving very high densities.
