About Converting Metric tons per Cubic Centimeter to Short tons per Cubic foot

Metric ton per Cubic Centimeter and Short ton per Cubic foot 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

short tons per cubic foot = metric tons per cubic centimeter × 31213.9802881

This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 metric ton per cubic centimeter equals 1000000000 base units, and 1 short ton per cubic foot equals 32036.9267479 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct metric ton per cubic centimeter-to-short ton per cubic foot factor of 31213.9802881.

Simple example

1 t/cm3 × 31213.98029 = 31,213.98029 ton/ft3

1 metric ton per cubic centimeter = 31,213.98029 short tons per cubic foot.

Real-world example

1,000 t/cm3 × 31213.98029 = 31,213,980.29 ton/ft3

1,000 metric tons per cubic centimeter = 31,213,980.29 short tons per cubic foot.

Frequently asked questions

How many short tons per cubic foot are in 1 metric ton per cubic centimeter?

1 metric ton per cubic centimeter equals 31,213.98029 short tons per cubic foot, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.

How do I convert metric ton per cubic centimeter to short ton per cubic foot?

Multiply the metric ton per cubic centimeter value by 31213.98029. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.

How do I convert short ton per cubic foot back to metric ton per cubic centimeter?

Use the reverse factor: 1 short ton per cubic foot equals 0.0000320369 metric tons per cubic centimeter. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.

What is a metric ton per cubic centimeter?

Metric ton per Cubic Centimeter (t/cm3) is a unit of density.

What is a short ton per cubic foot?

Short ton per Cubic foot (ton/ft3) is a unit of density.

Is the metric ton per cubic centimeter to short ton per cubic foot conversion exact?

Yes. Both metric ton per cubic centimeter and short ton per cubic foot are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 31213.98029 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.
