About Converting Kilograms per Cubic foot to Long tons per Cubic Meter
Kilogram per Cubic foot and Long ton per Cubic Meter 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. Kilogram per Cubic foot is most often used for can be used to express the density of construction and bulk materials such as insulation, soil, or aggregate — in practice, pounds per cubic foot (us) or tons per cubic yard are the units more commonly seen in us construction references.
Formula
long tons per cubic meter = kilograms per cubic foot × 0.0347569255077
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 kilogram per cubic foot equals 35.3146667215 base units, and 1 long ton per cubic meter equals 1016.0469088 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct kilogram per cubic foot-to-long ton per cubic meter factor of 0.0347569255077.
Simple example
1 kg/ft3 × 0.03475692551 = 0.0347569255 long ton/m3
1 kilogram per cubic foot = 0.0347569255 long tons per cubic meter.
Real-world example
1,000 kg/ft3 × 0.03475692551 = 34.75692551 long ton/m3
1,000 kilograms per cubic foot = 34.75692551 long tons per cubic meter.

How do I convert long ton per cubic meter back to kilogram per cubic foot?
Use the reverse factor: 1 long ton per cubic meter equals 28.77124445 kilograms per cubic foot. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a kilogram per cubic foot?
Kilogram per Cubic foot (kg/ft3) measures density. A mathematically valid way to express density in kilograms per cubic foot. It is classified as a mixed metric/US customary density unit.
What is a long ton per cubic meter?
Long ton per Cubic Meter (long ton/m3) is a unit of density.
Is the kilogram per cubic foot to long ton per cubic meter conversion exact?
Yes. Both kilogram per cubic foot and long ton per cubic meter are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.03475692551 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.
