What does pound per cubic inch measure?

Pound per cubic inch (lb/in^3) is a density unit expressing mass in pounds divided by volume in cubic inches, typically used in US customary measurements.

When should I convert density to gram per cubic millimeter?

Convert to gram per cubic millimeter when dealing with micro-scale volumes like MEMS components or tiny samples where metric microvolumes are standard.

Does this conversion account for temperature or pressure variations?

No, the conversion assumes exact equivalence and does not consider temperature or pressure effects on density values.
