g/cm³ to kg/L Conversion

1 g/cm³ equals exactly

1 kg/L

g/cm³ and kg/L: the Exact Same Density

The gram per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) and the kilogram per liter (kg/L) are numerically identical. This happens because a cubic centimeter is exactly equal to a milliliter, and a liter contains 1,000 milliliters (= 1,000 cm³): by dividing both the numerator (grams → kilograms, ÷1,000) and the denominator (cm³ → L, ÷1,000) by the same factor, the ratio remains unchanged.

The Conversion Formula

To convert a measurement from g/cm³ to kg/L, the numerical value does not change:

Likewise, to convert from kg/L to g/cm³:

Practical Examples

• 1 g/cm³ = 1 kg/L (density of water)
• 0.79 g/cm³ = 0.79 kg/L (density of ethanol)
• 2.7 g/cm³ = 2.7 kg/L (density of aluminum)
• 7.85 g/cm³ = 7.85 kg/L (density of steel)

When g/cm³ and kg/L Are Used

This equivalence is very useful to remember, because g/cm³ is the preferred unit in chemistry and physics for solids, while kg/L is more common for liquids (especially fuels and industrial products). Knowing they return the exact same number allows comparing densities of different materials without needing any conversion.
