Kilogram Per Cubic Meter (abbreviations: kg/m3, or kgpm3): is an SI derived unit of density, defined by mass in kilograms divided by volume in cubic metres.
Tonne Per Cubic Meter (abbreviations: t/m3, or tpm3): is a unit of density, defined by mass in tonnes divided by volume in cubic meter
How to Convert Kilograms Per Cubic Meters to Tonnes Per Cubic Meters
Example: How many tonnes per cubic meters are equivalent to 46.48 kilograms per cubic meters?
As;
1 kilograms per cubic meters = 0.001 tonnes per cubic meters
46.48 kilograms per cubic meters = Y tonnes per cubic meters
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 46.48 times 0.001 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 46.48 * 0.001 / 1 = 0.04648 tonnes per cubic meters
Answer is: 0.04648 tonnes per cubic meters are equivalent to 46.48 kilograms per cubic meters.
