Tips & Best Practices

Ensure the density measurement is accurate and expressed in milligram per cubic millimeter.
Use the conversion results within the context of vertical pressure gradients and standard gravity.
Cross-verify converted values with engineering data for decision making.
Understand the material or fluid characteristics to apply the conversion appropriately.
Recognize that this conversion suits fluids or porous media where hydrostatic principles apply.

Limitations

Assumes standard gravity and vertical orientation for depth measurements.
Milligram per cubic millimeter reflects intrinsic density; psi/1000 feet reflects pressure gradients influenced by fluid column height.
May not be suitable for solids without fluid hydrostatic context.
Local variations in gravity or non-vertical conditions can affect accuracy.
