What does pound per cubic inch measure?

It measures density as mass in pounds divided by volume in cubic inches, commonly used for solids like metals.

When should I use gram per liter for density?

Gram per liter is suitable for expressing density or mass concentration of liquids, dilute solutions, or gases.

Can I directly compare lb/in^3 to g/L values without conversion?

No, because they are different units relating to mass and volume systems; proper conversion is necessary for accurate comparisons.
