What does milligram per cubic centimeter measure?

It measures density as mass in milligrams divided by volume in cubic centimeters.

Why convert mg/cm³ to lb/in³?

To translate density data from metric units common in scientific contexts to imperial units used in US engineering and manufacturing.

Can this converter be used for other volume units?

No, it specifically converts between milligram per cubic centimeter and pound per cubic inch units.
