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
Slug Per Cubic Foot (abbreviations: slug/ft3, or slugpf3): is a unit of density, defined by mass in slug divided by volume in cubic foot
How to Convert Pounds Per Cubic Inches to Slugs Per Cubic Feet
Example: How many slugs per cubic feet are equivalent to 50.83 pounds per cubic inches?
As;
1 pounds per cubic inches = 53.678756476684 slugs per cubic feet
50.83 pounds per cubic inches = Y slugs per cubic feet
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 50.83 times 53.678756476684 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 50.83 * 53.678756476684 / 1 = 2728.4911917098 slugs per cubic feet
Answer is: 2728.4911917098 slugs per cubic feet are equivalent to 50.83 pounds per cubic inches.
