About Converting Kilograms per Cubic Centimeter to Kilogram per Cubic inches
Kilogram per Cubic Centimeter and Kilogram 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
kilogram per cubic inches = kilograms per cubic centimeter × 16.387064
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 kilogram per cubic centimeter equals 1000000 base units, and 1 kilogram per cubic inch equals 61023.7440947 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct kilogram per cubic centimeter-to-kilogram per cubic inch factor of 16.387064.
Simple example
1 kg/cm3 × 16.387064 = 16.387064 kg/in3
1 kilogram per cubic centimeter = 16.387064 kilogram per cubic inches.
Real-world example
1,000 kg/cm3 × 16.387064 = 16,387.064 kg/in3
1,000 kilograms per cubic centimeter = 16,387.064 kilogram per cubic inches.

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