What does psi/1000 feet measure?

Psi per 1000 feet measures the hydrostatic pressure gradient, representing the change in pressure per 1,000 feet of vertical depth and is used to infer fluid densities.

When should I use megagram per liter as a density unit?

Megagram per liter is used for describing extremely high densities, such as those found in astrophysics or high-pressure materials physics, and not for everyday fluid density.

Why convert psi/1000 feet to megagram per liter?

Conversion helps translate hydrostatic pressure-gradient values into a standard density unit, allowing for better scientific analysis and comparison with theoretical high-density materials.
