gram per cubic centimeter to kilogram per cubic meter
Convert gram per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) to kilogram per cubic meter (kg/m³). Use an editable density converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 g/cm³ = 1,000 kg/m³
Conversion formula
One gram per cubic centimeter equals 1,000 kilogram per cubic meter. Multiply your value in gram per cubic centimeter by this factor to get kilogram per cubic meter. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 gram per cubic centimeter:5 × 1,000 = 5,000 kg/m³

About these measurements
Density is mass per unit volume.
The base reference used here is the kilogram per cubic meter. One gram per cubic centimeter is 1,000 base units; one kilogram per cubic meter is 1 base units.
Important distinctions
Compound units must match the quantity and dimension. Temperature intervals use size factors rather than temperature offsets. Calorie and BTU entries use the explicit definitions shown.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
Common questions
How do I convert g/cm³ to kg/m³?
Multiply the quantity in g/cm³ by 1,000. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the kilogram per cubic meter to gram per cubic centimeter converter.
