Why is the conversion value so small when converting from ng/L to slug/ft³?

The nanogram per liter unit measures ultra-trace concentrations with very small mass per volume, while slug per cubic foot is a larger Imperial unit for density, resulting in very small converted values.

Can this converter be used for any density units?

No, this tool specifically converts density from nanogram per liter to slug per cubic foot and is intended for ultra-trace concentration to US customary unit conversions.

What fields commonly use these two units for density?

Nanogram per liter is common in environmental monitoring and biochemical assays, while slug per cubic foot is typical in aerospace, naval, and engineering applications.
