About Converting Centigrams per Cubic Centimeter to Drams per Fluid ounce
Centigram per Cubic Centimeter and Dram per Fluid ounce both measure density — mass per unit volume — a property used to identify materials, check manufacturing quality, and predict whether something floats or sinks. As a fixed reference point, water has a density of exactly 1000 kg/m³ (1 g/cm³, 1 g/mL) at its temperature of maximum density, which is why many density figures in science and engineering are quoted relative to water. Both are mass per volume density units.
Formula
drams per fluid ounce = centigrams per cubic centimeter × 0.16690808904
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 centigram per cubic centimeter equals 10 base units, and 1 dram per fluid ounce equals 59.9132136584 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct centigram per cubic centimeter-to-dram per fluid ounce factor of 0.16690808904.
Simple example
1 cg/cm3 × 0.166908089 = 0.166908089 dr/fl oz
1 centigram per cubic centimeter = 0.166908089 drams per fluid ounce.
Real-world example
1,000 cg/cm3 × 0.166908089 = 166.908089 dr/fl oz
1,000 centigrams per cubic centimeter = 166.908089 drams per fluid ounce.

Frequently asked questions
How many drams per fluid ounce are in 1 centigram per cubic centimeter?
1 centigram per cubic centimeter equals 0.166908089 drams per fluid ounce, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert centigram per cubic centimeter to dram per fluid ounce?
Multiply the centigram per cubic centimeter value by 0.166908089. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert dram per fluid ounce back to centigram per cubic centimeter?
Use the reverse factor: 1 dram per fluid ounce equals 5.991321366 centigrams per cubic centimeter. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a centigram per cubic centimeter?
Centigram per Cubic Centimeter (cg/cm3) is a unit of density.
What is a dram per fluid ounce?
Dram per Fluid ounce (dr/fl oz) is a unit of density.
Is the centigram per cubic centimeter to dram per fluid ounce conversion exact?
Yes. Both centigram per cubic centimeter and dram per fluid ounce are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.166908089 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
What's the difference between density and mass concentration?
Density is the mass of a pure substance or material per unit volume. Mass concentration is the mass of one component — like a dissolved solute — within a mixture's total volume. The two use the same kind of units but describe different physical situations.
