Why is kilogram per cubic centimeter rarely used in daily measurements?

Because it measures very large mass per small volume, making it less suited for common density values where g/cm³ or kg/m³ are preferred.

What makes slug per cubic foot important in engineering?

It is commonly used in aerospace, fluid dynamics, and naval engineering calculations within US customary unit systems, facilitating consistency in these fields.

Can this tool be used for converting small density values?

While possible, the tool is optimized for high-density conversions given the large scale of kilogram per cubic centimeter units.
