Pound Per Cubic Foot (abbreviations: lb/ft3, or ppf3): is a unit of density, defined by mass in pound divided by volume in cubic foot
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 Pounds Per Cubic Feet to Tonnes Per Cubic Meters
Example: How many tonnes per cubic meters are equivalent to 47 pounds per cubic feet?
As;
1 pounds per cubic feet = 0.016018646043013 tonnes per cubic meters
47 pounds per cubic feet = Y tonnes per cubic meters
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 47 times 0.016018646043013 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 47 * 0.016018646043013 / 1 = 0.75287636402161 tonnes per cubic meters
Answer is: 0.75287636402161 tonnes per cubic meters are equivalent to 47 pounds per cubic feet.
