How to Convert oz/in³ to g/cm³

Ounces per cubic inch (oz/in³) is a less common imperial density unit, sometimes used for small components or specialty liquids where pounds per cubic inch would produce inconveniently small numbers. The gram per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) is the equivalent metric unit, much more widely used internationally.

The Conversion Formula

To convert a measurement from oz/in³ to g/cm³, simply multiply the value by 1.73:

g/cm³ = oz/in³ × 1.73

To convert from g/cm³ to oz/in³, perform the inverse operation, multiplying by 0.578:

oz/in³ = g/cm³ × 0.578

Practical Examples

  • 0.578 oz/in³ ≈ 1 g/cm³ (density of water)
  • 1.56 oz/in³ ≈ 2.7 g/cm³ (density of aluminum)
  • 4.54 oz/in³ ≈ 7.85 g/cm³ (density of steel)
  • 11.16 oz/in³ ≈ 19.3 g/cm³ (density of gold)

When This Conversion Is Needed

This conversion is used for small, dense components or specialty liquids in manufacturing and jewelry-making contexts, where ounces per cubic inch provides a more practical scale than pounds per cubic inch, and needs to be compared against the more universal g/cm³ standard.
