Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does cubic meter per kilogram measure?
-
It measures the volume in cubic meters occupied by one kilogram of a substance, representing the reciprocal of density.
-
Why convert cubic meter/kilogram to cubic centimeter/gram?
-
This conversion helps move between large-scale industrial data and smaller laboratory or material-scale measurements for convenient unit use.
-
How is the conversion from m³/kg to cm³/g calculated?
-
The conversion uses a scalar factor where 1 cubic meter per kilogram equals 1000 cubic centimeters per gram.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic meter per kilogram
-
A unit of specific volume expressing volume in cubic meters per unit mass in kilograms; reciprocal of density.
-
Cubic centimeter per gram
-
A specific volume unit indicating volume in cubic centimeters per unit mass in grams; equal to 1×10⁻³ m³/kg.
-
Specific volume
-
The volume occupied by a unit mass of a substance, inverse of density.
