Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does slug per cubic foot measure?
-
It measures density as mass in slugs divided by volume in cubic feet and is used mainly in engineering and fluid dynamics with US customary units.
-
Why convert slug/ft³ to attogram/liter?
-
To express large-scale density measures into extremely low mass concentration units useful for nanoparticle and ultrafine aerosol studies.
-
Is this conversion suitable for everyday calculations?
-
No, because the conversion factor is very large, making it impractical for routine engineering calculations.
