What does grain/cubic foot measure?

Grain per cubic foot measures mass density as grains (a small mass unit) per unit volume, often used for air moisture or particulate content.

When should I use slug/cubic foot?

Slug per cubic foot is used in engineering and aerospace fields where mass and volume are expressed in US customary units, suitable for denser fluids.

Is this conversion applicable for SI unit systems?

No, slug and grain units are part of US customary systems. For SI units, further conversion steps are required.
