What does pound per cubic inch measure?

Pound per cubic inch measures density as mass in pounds divided by volume in cubic inches, typically for dense materials like metals.

Why convert pound/cubic inch to grain/cubic foot?

This conversion is useful for expressing densities in units that are appropriate for air quality, HVAC moisture content, and legacy particulate reporting.

Are these units from the same measurement system?

No, pound/cubic inch is from a US customary system mainly for solid materials, while grain/cubic foot is a legacy unit often used for airborne particles or gases.
