How the oz/in³ to g/cm³ converter works
Density converts through kg/m³. 1 g/cm³ = 1 kg/L = 1,000 kg/m³ (water at 4 °C). 1 lb/ft³ = 16.0185 kg/m³ and 1 lb/US gal = 119.83 kg/m³. Concrete is about 2,400 kg/m³, steel 7,850 kg/m³, petrol about 740 kg/m³.
Australia is fully metric under the National Measurement Act 1960; imperial units appear only in trade with the US and in older documents.
