About the units
Grams per cubic centimetre. Grams per cubic centimetre is built from the gram and the cubic centimetre, both decimal forms of SI units and legal throughout the EU. The unit comes from the old CGS system and is convenient in chemistry, materials science, mineralogy and metallurgy, because water then has a density of about 1. One gram per cubic centimetre is exactly 1,000 kilograms per cubic metre, and the same figure holds for kilograms per litre and tonnes per cubic metre. That factor of a thousand is the commonest slip here.
Kilograms per cubic metre. The kilogram per cubic metre is the SI coherent unit of density and a legal unit throughout the EU as a combination of the kilogram and the cubic metre. It is used for building materials, concrete, insulation, process liquids and air density in meteorology. Water is about 1,000 kilograms per cubic metre, but that figure is no longer a definition: the litre was defined in 1901 as the volume of one kilogram of water, and that definition was repealed in 1964.
