About Converting Pounds per Cubic yard to Kilograms per Cubic Centimeter
Pound per Cubic yard and Kilogram 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
kilograms per cubic centimeter = pounds per cubic yard × 5.932764e-7
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 pound per cubic yard equals 0.593276421258 base units, and 1 kilogram per cubic centimeter equals 1000000 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct pound per cubic yard-to-kilogram per cubic centimeter factor of 5.932764e-7.
Simple example
1 lb/yd3 × 5.932764e-7 = 5.932764e-7 kg/cm3
1 pound per cubic yard = 5.932764e-7 kilograms per cubic centimeter.
Real-world example
1,000 lb/yd3 × 5.932764e-7 = 0.0005932764 kg/cm3
1,000 pounds per cubic yard = 0.0005932764 kilograms per cubic centimeter.

How do I convert kilogram per cubic centimeter back to pound per cubic yard?
Use the reverse factor: 1 kilogram per cubic centimeter equals 1,685,554.936 pounds per cubic yard. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a pound per cubic yard?
Pound per Cubic yard (lb/yd3) is a unit of density.
What is a kilogram per cubic centimeter?
Kilogram per Cubic Centimeter (kg/cm3) is a unit of density.
Is the pound per cubic yard to kilogram per cubic centimeter conversion exact?
Yes. Both pound per cubic yard and kilogram per cubic centimeter are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 5.932764e-7 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.
