Why is Megagram per liter used for some density measurements?

Megagram per liter is used to express extremely high densities, such as those found in astrophysics or high-pressure material science, where common units are not sufficiently large.

What fields frequently use the Pound per cubic inch unit?

Pound per cubic inch is common in engineering, metalworking, and ballistics, especially for small volumes measured in inches.

How do I perform the conversion from Mg/L to lb/in^3?

Use the conversion rate where 1 Megagram per liter equals approximately 36.1273 Pound per cubic inch and multiply your value accordingly.
