What does petagram per liter measure?

Petagram per liter measures mass density as one petagram (10^15 grams) of mass per liter of volume, suitable for describing extremely large mass concentrations.

Why convert petagram per liter to pound per cubic foot?

Converting to pound per cubic foot allows interpretation of ultra-dense mass values in imperial units commonly used in US engineering and industrial contexts.

Is this converter suitable for common density measurements?

No, because petagram per liter is reserved for exceedingly large densities and does not apply well to ordinary or moderate density values.
