What does kilogram per cubic meter represent?

It is the SI derived unit of mass density representing mass in kilograms per one cubic meter of volume, commonly used in science and engineering.

Why convert kilogram/cubic meter to pound/gallon (US)?

This conversion translates density values to US customary units, necessary for industries and regions that use US units for regulatory, commercial, and operational purposes.

Are there any differences between US and UK gallons in this conversion?

Yes, the pound per gallon (US) unit is based on the US liquid gallon, which differs from the UK gallon, so specifying the type is important for accuracy.
