The density of water is approximately 1 g/cm3, since the gram was originally defined as the mass of one cubic centimetre of water at its maximum density at approximately 4 °C (39 °F).

Conversions

  • 1 g/cm3 is equal to:
    = 1000 g/L (exactly)
    = 1000 kg/m3 (exactly)
    ≈ 62.4280 lb/cu ft (approximately)
    ≈ 133.5265 oz/US gal (approximately)
