About Converting Long tons per Cubic foot to Pounds per Cubic Centimeter
Long ton per Cubic foot and Pound 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
pounds per cubic centimeter = long tons per cubic foot × 0.0791048534561
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 long ton per cubic foot equals 35881.3579577 base units, and 1 pound per cubic centimeter equals 453592.37 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct long ton per cubic foot-to-pound per cubic centimeter factor of 0.0791048534561.
Simple example
1 long ton/ft3 × 0.07910485346 = 0.0791048535 lb/cm3
1 long ton per cubic foot = 0.0791048535 pounds per cubic centimeter.
Real-world example
1,000 long ton/ft3 × 0.07910485346 = 79.10485346 lb/cm3
1,000 long tons per cubic foot = 79.10485346 pounds per cubic centimeter.

Multiply the long ton per cubic foot value by 0.07910485346. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert pound per cubic centimeter back to long ton per cubic foot?
Use the reverse factor: 1 pound per cubic centimeter equals 12.64144937 long tons per cubic foot. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a long ton per cubic foot?
Long ton per Cubic foot (long ton/ft3) is a unit of density.
What is a pound per cubic centimeter?
Pound per Cubic Centimeter (lb/cm3) is a unit of density.
Is the long ton per cubic foot to pound per cubic centimeter conversion exact?
Yes. Both long ton per cubic foot and pound per cubic centimeter are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.07910485346 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.
