What does kilogram per liter (kg/L) measure?

Kilogram per liter (kg/L) measures density by expressing the mass in kilograms for each liter of volume.

Are kilogram/liter and milligram/cubic millimeter equivalent?

Yes, 1 kilogram/liter (kg/L) equals 1 milligram/cubic millimeter (mg/mm³) numerically, making them interchangeable in density expressions.

Why use milligram/cubic millimeter units?

Milligram per cubic millimeter units are useful for characterizing density at microscopic scales, such as in microfabrication and biomedical samples.
