What does psi/1000 feet measure?

Psi/1000 feet measures the pressure gradient indicating how pressure changes per 1000 feet of vertical depth, often used to relate hydrostatic pressure and fluid density.

Why convert psi/1000 feet to gram per cubic meter?

This conversion translates hydrostatic pressure gradients into standard mass density units, which helps in engineering calculations and environmental assessments using SI units.

Can I use this conversion for gases or multiphase fluids?

While the conversion provides useful density estimates, additional context is needed as gram per cubic meter may not fully capture properties of non-ideal gases or multiphase fluids.
