Density Calculator

Calculate a sample’s density from mass and volume and convert the result between kg/m³ and g/cm³.

Mass and volume must describe the same sample. Density can vary with temperature, pressure and composition.

How this was calculated

Density = mass ÷ volume.

1 g/cm³ equals 1,000 kg/m³.

Formula and method

Density ρ = mass/volume. One g/cm³ equals 1,000 kg/m³.

Worked example

A mass of 1 kg occupying 0.001 m³ has density 1,000 kg/m³, or 1 g/cm³.

Frequently asked questions

Does density depend on conditions?

Yes. Temperature, pressure and composition can change density. Mass and volume should refer to the same sample under the same conditions.
