What does psi/1000 feet represent?

Psi/1000 feet is a pressure-gradient unit indicating how pressure changes per 1,000 feet of vertical depth, commonly used to represent hydrostatic pressure gradients related to fluid density in petroleum engineering.

Where is gigagram per liter (Gg/L) used?

Gigagram per liter is used in fields like astrophysics and high-pressure physics to express very large densities found in compact stellar remnants and experimental compression models.

Can I directly convert pressure gradient to density?

The conversion assumes uniform conditions because psi/1000 feet measures pressure gradient, not direct mass density, so some assumptions about gravity and fluid properties apply.
