About Converting Kilogram per Cubic inches to Grams per Cubic Centimeter
Kilogram 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 = kilogram per cubic inches × 61.0237440947
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 kilogram per cubic inch equals 61023.7440947 base units, and 1 gram per cubic centimeter equals 1000 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct kilogram per cubic inch-to-gram per cubic centimeter factor of 61.0237440947.
Simple example
1 kg/in3 × 61.02374409 = 61.02374409 g/cm3
1 kilogram per cubic inch = 61.02374409 grams per cubic centimeter.
Real-world example
1,000 kg/in3 × 61.02374409 = 61,023.74409 g/cm3
1,000 kilogram per cubic inches = 61,023.74409 grams per cubic centimeter.

Frequently asked questions
How many grams per cubic centimeter are in 1 kilogram per cubic inch?
1 kilogram per cubic inch equals 61.02374409 grams per cubic centimeter, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert kilogram per cubic inch to gram per cubic centimeter?
Multiply the kilogram per cubic inch value by 61.02374409. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert gram per cubic centimeter back to kilogram per cubic inch?
Use the reverse factor: 1 gram per cubic centimeter equals 0.016387064 kilogram per cubic inches. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a kilogram per cubic inch?
Kilogram per Cubic inch (kg/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 kilogram per cubic inch to gram per cubic centimeter conversion exact?
Yes. Both kilogram per cubic inch and gram per cubic centimeter are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 61.02374409 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.
