What does grain per cubic foot measure?

It measures mass density as grains of mass per one cubic foot of volume, often used for airborne moisture or particulate matter.

Why convert grain/cubic foot to kilogram/liter?

Conversions help translate legacy or air-quality density units into metric units applicable for liquids and scientific analysis.

Can I directly compare values in gr/ft³ and kg/L?

Direct comparisons can be misleading as grain/cubic foot usually applies to gases while kilogram/liter applies to liquids.

What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms density measurements from grain per cubic foot (gr/ft³), commonly used in air quality and industrial ventilation, into kilogram per liter (kg/L), a standard metric unit for liquid density.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the value in grain per cubic foot you want to convert.
Select the source unit as grain/cubic foot [gr/ft³].
Choose the target unit kilogram/liter [kg/L].
Click the convert button to obtain the result in kg/L.

Key Features

Converts mass density from grain per cubic foot to kilogram per liter accurately.
Supports applications in HVAC, airborne particulate monitoring, chemical processing, and fuel density analysis.
Uses a precise conversion factor based on established unit definitions.

Examples

10 gr/ft³ converts to approximately 0.00002288 kg/L.
100 gr/ft³ converts to approximately 0.00022884 kg/L.

Common Use Cases

Measuring absolute humidity or moisture content in indoor air for HVAC calculations.
Reporting airborne dust concentration in industrial ventilation standards.
Specifying fuel and lubricant densities for engine performance and transport.
Chemical industry applications involving material properties and process calculations.

Tips & Best Practices

Remember that grain/cubic foot values usually indicate very low densities, so results in kg/L may be very small.
Be aware that kilogram/liter values typically concern liquids, making cross-comparisons with airborne densities less straightforward.
Use scientific notation or appropriate precision when dealing with converted results.
Consider the homogeneity assumption of the density when applying conversions.

Limitations

Grain/cubic foot mostly relates to low-density airborne substances, so kg/L results are very small.
Kilogram/liter units are generally for liquids, so direct comparison can be misleading.
Conversion presumes uniform distribution of mass, which may not hold in complex mixtures or environments.
