Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does grain/cubic foot measure?
-
Grain per cubic foot quantifies mass density based on grains of mass per one cubic foot of volume, often used for moisture content or particulate concentration in air.
-
Where is ounce/cubic foot commonly used?
-
Ounce per cubic foot is used primarily in US customary or Imperial systems to describe densities such as bulk materials and packaging in construction and logistics.
-
How do I convert grain/cubic foot to ounce/cubic foot?
-
Multiply the value in grain/cubic foot by the conversion factor 0.0022857143 to obtain the equivalent in ounce/cubic foot.
Key Terminology
-
Grain/cubic foot [gr/ft^3]
-
A mass density unit representing one grain of mass per cubic foot of volume, used mainly for measuring moisture content or particulate concentration.
-
Ounce/cubic foot [oz/ft^3]
-
A unit of mass density using avoirdupois ounces per cubic foot, common in US customary systems for construction and packaging materials.
-
Mass Density
-
A measure of mass per unit volume of a substance, indicating how much mass is contained within a given volume.
