About Converting Dram per Cubic inches to Grams per Cubic Centimeter
Dram per Cubic inch and Gram per Cubic Centimeter 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
grams per cubic centimeter = dram per cubic inches × 0.108124627774
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 dram per cubic inch equals 108.124627774 base units, and 1 gram per cubic centimeter equals 1000 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct dram per cubic inch-to-gram per cubic centimeter factor of 0.108124627774.
Simple example
1 dr/in3 × 0.1081246278 = 0.1081246278 g/cm3
1 dram per cubic inch = 0.1081246278 grams per cubic centimeter.
Real-world example
1,000 dr/in3 × 0.1081246278 = 108.1246278 g/cm3
1,000 dram per cubic inches = 108.1246278 grams per cubic centimeter.

Frequently asked questions
How many grams per cubic centimeter are in 1 dram per cubic inch?
1 dram per cubic inch equals 0.1081246278 grams per cubic centimeter, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert dram per cubic inch to gram per cubic centimeter?
Multiply the dram per cubic inch value by 0.1081246278. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert gram per cubic centimeter back to dram per cubic inch?
Use the reverse factor: 1 gram per cubic centimeter equals 9.248586752 dram per cubic inches. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a dram per cubic inch?
Dram per Cubic inch (dr/in3) is a unit of density.
What is a gram per cubic centimeter?
Gram per Cubic Centimeter (g/cm3) measures density. Numerically identical to kilograms per liter, since one cubic centimeter equals one milliliter — this is the form most commonly used in chemistry and materials-science textbooks. It is classified as a metric derived density unit.
Is the dram per cubic inch to gram per cubic centimeter conversion exact?
Yes. Both dram per cubic inch and gram per cubic centimeter are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.1081246278 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.
