About Converting Pounds per Imperial gallon to Pounds per Cubic Millimeter
Pound per Imperial gallon and Pound per Cubic Millimeter 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 millimeter = pounds per imperial gallon × 2.199692e-7
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 pound per imperial gallon equals 99.7763726631 base units, and 1 pound per cubic millimeter equals 453592370 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct pound per imperial gallon-to-pound per cubic millimeter factor of 2.199692e-7.
Simple example
1 lb/imp gal × 2.199692e-7 = 2.199692e-7 lb/mm3
1 pound per imperial gallon = 2.199692e-7 pounds per cubic millimeter.
Real-world example
1,000 lb/imp gal × 2.199692e-7 = 0.0002199692 lb/mm3
1,000 pounds per imperial gallon = 0.0002199692 pounds per cubic millimeter.

What is a pound per imperial gallon?
Pound per Imperial gallon (lb/imp gal) is a unit of density.
What is a pound per cubic millimeter?
Pound per Cubic Millimeter (lb/mm3) is a unit of density.
Is the pound per imperial gallon to pound per cubic millimeter conversion exact?
Yes. Both pound per imperial gallon and pound per cubic millimeter are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 2.199692e-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.
