What does gram/cubic millimeter measure?

Gram/cubic millimeter is a metric unit representing mass density, indicating how many grams of mass are contained in each cubic millimeter of volume.

Why convert gram/cubic millimeter to pound/cubic inch?

This conversion is useful for translating micro-scale metric density measurements into imperial units used in US engineering and machining contexts.

Are there any challenges with this conversion?

Yes, large conversion multipliers can lead to numeric sensitivity, and differences between metric and imperial units mean users must carefully interpret their converted values.
