What Is This Tool?
This tool converts density measurements from ounce per cubic inch to pound per cubic inch, both U.S. customary units. It helps users express material density in pounds per cubic inch to suit engineering, manufacturing, or material selection needs.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the density value in ounce per cubic inch (oz/in^3) you wish to convert
-
Select the source unit as ounce/cubic inch and the target unit as pound/cubic inch
-
Click the convert button to view the equivalent density in pound per cubic inch
-
Use the result for engineering calculations, material selection, or documentation
Key Features
-
Converts density units between ounce/cubic inch and pound/cubic inch
-
Supports common U.S. customary units for engineering and manufacturing
-
Browser-based and easy to use with no installation required
-
Provides quick calculations for density conversion in material science contexts
Examples
-
4 oz/in^3 converts to 0.25 lb/in^3 by multiplying 4 by 0.0625
-
16 oz/in^3 converts exactly to 1 lb/in^3 using the conversion factor
Common Use Cases
-
Specifying metal and plastic material densities on engineering drawings
-
Calculating mass of parts based on volume in cubic inches and density in customary units
-
Converting density units for ballistics or projectile design requirements
-
Switching between ounces and pounds in U.S.-based manufacturing documentation
Tips & Best Practices
-
Always verify the units you are converting to avoid errors in documentation
-
Use the tool when working with U.S. customary units to streamline density conversions
-
Consult material datasheets to ensure appropriate unit usage in technical contexts
Limitations
-
Applicable only to U.S. customary units involving avoirdupois ounces and pounds
-
Does not account for temperature or pressure effects on material density
-
Precision may vary due to rounding in the conversion factor calculations
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What units does this converter work with?
-
It converts density values from ounce per cubic inch (oz/in^3) to pound per cubic inch (lb/in^3), both U.S. customary units.
-
Can I convert density values between metric and imperial units?
-
This tool specifically converts between ounce per cubic inch and pound per cubic inch, not metric units.

-
No, this conversion does not adjust for temperature or pressure variations affecting density.
Key Terminology
-
Ounce per cubic inch [oz/in^3]
-
A density unit expressing mass in ounces per unit volume in cubic inches, used mainly in U.S. customary contexts.
-
Pound per cubic inch [lb/in^3]
-
A U.S. customary density unit indicating mass in pounds divided by volume in cubic inches.
-
Density
-
A measurement of mass per unit volume, indicating how much mass a material contains within a specified volume.
