Ounce per Gallon (US) (oz/gal)
Definition: A US customary density unit describing how many ounces of mass are contained in one US gallon of volume.
History: Combines the ounce and the US liquid gallon, a unit that itself diverged from the British imperial gallon in the 19th century, to give American industries a density unit matching everyday liquid measurement.
Current use: Commonly used in the US brewing, beverage, and agricultural chemical industries to describe the density or concentration of liquids sold and measured by the gallon.
Gram per Cubic Centimeter (g/cm³)
Definition: A CGS-scale density unit describing how many grams of mass fit into one cubic centimeter of volume — numerically identical to kilograms per liter.
History: Emerged from the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) system used widely in 19th and 20th century chemistry and physics, where cubic centimeter volumes and gram masses were the natural laboratory scale.
Current use: Still the everyday unit chemists and materials scientists use to report densities of solids and liquids, since common substances like water (1 g/cm³) and metals fall in a convenient, easy-to-read range.

About These Parameters
- Value
- The density value you want to convert, expressed in the "From" unit. Accepts decimals.
- From Unit
- The density unit your input value is currently measured in — for example, pounds per cubic foot on a US construction spec or grams per cubic centimeter on a chemistry lab report.
- To Unit
- The density unit you want the result converted into. Use the swap button to flip From and To instantly.
How Density Conversion Works
The Formula
Every unit here is defined by a fixed multiplier relative to the kilogram per cubic meter. To convert a value from one unit to another:
result = value × (factor of "From" unit ÷ factor of "To" unit)
For Ounce per Gallon (US) → Gram per Cubic Centimeter: multiply by 0.007489152. For example, 1 oz/gal × 0.007489152 = 0.007489152 g/cm³.
Density = Mass ÷ Volume
Density is simply mass divided by volume (ρ = m/V), which is why every density unit is really a mass unit paired with a volume unit — kilograms per cubic meter, pounds per cubic foot, grams per cubic centimeter, and so on. Two objects of the same size can have wildly different masses depending on what they're made of: a cubic meter of water has a mass of about 1,000 kg, while a cubic meter of steel has a mass of roughly 7,850 kg, which is exactly why density is the property engineers check when comparing materials by weight rather than volume alone.
Why the Slug Exists
The slug per cubic foot looks unusual next to the more familiar pound-based density units because it solves a specific problem: the everyday "pound" is ambiguous, sometimes meaning mass and sometimes meaning force (weight). The slug is defined purely as a unit of mass, chosen so that Newton's second law (force = mass × acceleration) works cleanly within the foot-pound-second system without an extra conversion constant — which is why US aerospace and fluid dynamics calculations, particularly air density in aerodynamics formulas, use slugs per cubic foot rather than the more everyday pounds per cubic foot.
Example
1 oz/gal equals 0.007489152 g/cm³. For scale, that's about 0.01× the density of fresh water at 4°C (1,000 kg/m³, or 133.52647 oz/gal) — a useful everyday reference point, since anything less dense than water floats and anything denser sinks.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many Grams per Cubic Centimeter are in 1 Ounce per Gallon (US)?
1 Ounce per Gallon (US) (oz/gal) equals exactly 0.007489152 Grams per Cubic Centimeter (g/cm³).
Why does water's density matter as a reference point?
Fresh water at 4°C has a density of almost exactly 1,000 kg/m³ (1 g/cm³), which is why it's the standard reference for specific gravity — a material's density divided by water's density. Anything with a specific gravity below 1 floats in water; anything above 1 sinks, which is a quick, intuitive way engineers and scientists compare material densities.
What's the difference between pounds per cubic foot and slugs per cubic foot?
Pounds per cubic foot uses the everyday pound, which in this context typically means pound-mass. Slugs per cubic foot uses the slug, a unit defined purely as mass so that force (in pound-force) equals mass (in slugs) times acceleration (in ft/s²) without any extra conversion factor — this matters in aerodynamics and fluid dynamics formulas where unit consistency with pound-force avoids introducing gravitational constants.
How accurate are these conversions?
Every conversion factor used here is the exact, internationally recognized value (e.g. 1 lb/ft³ = exactly 16.01846337 kg/m³, derived from the internationally standardized pound and foot) — results are limited only by floating-point display precision, not by rounded conversion constants.
