Pound Per Cubic Inch (abbreviations: lb/in3, or ppi3): is a unit of density, defined by mass in pound divided by volume in cubic inch
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.
How to Convert Pounds Per Cubic Inches to Kilograms Per Cubic Meters
Example: How many kilograms per cubic meters are equivalent to 36.83 pounds per cubic inches?
As;
1 pounds per cubic inches = 28350 kilograms per cubic meters
36.83 pounds per cubic inches = Y kilograms per cubic meters
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 36.83 times 28350 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 36.83 * 28350 / 1 = 1044130.5 kilograms per cubic meters
Answer is: 1044130.5 kilograms per cubic meters are equivalent to 36.83 pounds per cubic inches.
