What does kilogram per cubic meter measure?

It measures mass density as the amount of mass in kilograms contained within one cubic meter of volume.

What is psi per 1000 feet used for?

Psi per 1000 feet expresses hydrostatic pressure gradient per 1000 feet of vertical depth, often used to infer fluid density or mud weight in petroleum engineering.

Can this conversion be used directly for any fluid?

The conversion assumes standard gravity and typical fluid properties; variations in fluid composition or environmental conditions may affect the accuracy.
