Density Calculator
Density is the ratio of a substance's mass to its volume
Density is calculated using the formula Density = Mass/Volume
This calculator supports:
Mass Units: kg, g, mg, lb, oz
Volume Units: m³, L, mL, cm³, in³, ft³
Density Units: kg/m³, g/cm³
Example Calculation
You have a chemical container with 2.5kg of contents (excluding the container weight)
The chemical completely fills a 4L container and you want to know how much you could store in a 100L container
1. Formula
Density = Mass/Volume
2. Insert the values
Density = 2.5kg /4L
3. Resulting Density
Density = 0.625kg/L
4. Scale up to 100L:
Amount = 100L * 0.625kg/L = 62.5kg
FAQ
Can I use this calculator for liquids and solids?
Yes. The formula used by our calculator applies to both liquids and solids.
Can I use this calculator for gases?
Yes but gas density depends on temperature and pressure. This calculator assumes values measured at standard conditions
What’s the difference between g/cm³ and kg/m³?
1 g/cm³ = 1000 kg/m³.
What are densities of common materials?
Water: ~1 g/cm³ (1000 kg/m³)
Air: ~0.0012 g/cm³ (1.2 kg/m³)
Gold: ~19.3 g/cm³ (19,300 kg/m³)
Steel: ~7.8 g/cm³ (7800 kg/m³)
