Key Terminology
-
Kilogram per Cubic Centimeter
-
A density unit representing mass in kilograms divided by volume in cubic centimeters, used for very dense materials.
-
Grain per Gallon (US)
-
A unit of density expressing the mass of one grain per one U.S. liquid gallon, often applied in water chemistry.
-
Density
-
A measurement of how much mass is contained within a given volume.
