About Converting Grains per Cubic Centimeter to Grain per Cubic inches
Grain per Cubic Centimeter and Grain per Cubic inch 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
grain per cubic inches = grains per cubic centimeter × 16.387064
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 grain per cubic centimeter equals 64.79891 base units, and 1 grain per cubic inch equals 3.95427210146 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct grain per cubic centimeter-to-grain per cubic inch factor of 16.387064.
Simple example
1 gr/cm3 × 16.387064 = 16.387064 gr/in3
1 grain per cubic centimeter = 16.387064 grain per cubic inches.
Real-world example
1,000 gr/cm3 × 16.387064 = 16,387.064 gr/in3
1,000 grains per cubic centimeter = 16,387.064 grain per cubic inches.

Frequently asked questions
How many grain per cubic inches are in 1 grain per cubic centimeter?
1 grain per cubic centimeter equals 16.387064 grain per cubic inches, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert grain per cubic centimeter to grain per cubic inch?
Multiply the grain per cubic centimeter value by 16.387064. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert grain per cubic inch back to grain per cubic centimeter?
Use the reverse factor: 1 grain per cubic inch equals 0.0610237441 grains per cubic centimeter. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a grain per cubic centimeter?
Grain per Cubic Centimeter (gr/cm3) is a unit of density.
What is a grain per cubic inch?
Grain per Cubic inch (gr/in3) is a unit of density.
Is the grain per cubic centimeter to grain per cubic inch conversion exact?
Yes. Both grain per cubic centimeter and grain per cubic inch are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 16.387064 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.
