What does pound per cubic inch measure?

It expresses density as mass in pounds divided by volume in cubic inches, often used in US customary engineering contexts.

When is milligram per liter used?

Milligram per liter expresses mass concentration of a substance in a liter of solution, common for reporting analyte concentrations in water and chemical labs.

Why convert from lb/in^3 to mg/L?

To translate material density data into a metric unit useful for environmental monitoring, laboratory analysis, or regulatory reporting where mg/L is standard.
