lb/ft3 to g/mL Converter

Summary

Convert density from pounds per cubic foot to grams per milliliter instantly. 1 lb/ft³ = 0.016018 g/mL. Bidirectional input with a reference table of common materials.

How it works

1. Enter a density value in the lb/ft³ field to convert to g/mL.
2. Or enter a value in the g/mL field to convert back to lb/ft³.
3. The result updates instantly as you type.
4. The formula is: g/mL = lb/ft³ × 0.016018.
5. Reverse: lb/ft³ = g/mL ÷ 0.016018 (or × 62.428).
6. Click any row in the reference table to load that material's density into the converter.

Use cases

• Convert US construction material density specs from lb/ft³ into g/mL for laboratory or chemistry use.
• Determine if a material will sink or float in water (water = 1.000 g/mL = 62.43 lb/ft³).
• Translate structural engineering data into metric units required by international project partners.
• Verify unit consistency in fluid-dynamics calculations that mix imperial and SI inputs.
• Look up densities of metals, wood, concrete, and liquids in both unit systems at once.
• Cross-check supplier data sheets that report density in different unit conventions.
