Convert Gram per Cubic Meter to Specific Gravity

Type the number of grams per cubic meter that you wish to convert to specific gravity.

1 g/m³ (grams per cubic meter) = 1e-6 SG (specific gravity)

How to Convert Grams per Cubic Meter to Specific Gravity

The gram per cubic meter and specific gravity are both units of density. By definition, 1 specific gravity equals exactly 1000000 grams per cubic meter. This means to convert grams per cubic meter to specific gravity, you divide by 1000000.

Formula

specific gravity = grams per cubic meter ÷ 1000000

Step-by-Step Example

Convert 5 g/m³ to specific gravity:

1
Convert 5 g/m³ to specific gravity

We need to convert grams per cubic meter to specific gravity

2
Apply the formula

Since 1 SG = 1000000 g/m³, divide by 1000000

5 ÷ 1000000 = 5e-6

Answer

5 g/m³ = 5e-6 SG

About These Units

Gram per Cubic Meter (g/m³)

Grams per cubic meter (g/m³) measures gas densities and aerosol concentrations. Air: ~1,225 g/m³. Hydrogen: ~90 g/m³. Used for air quality (PM2.5 in μg/m³), industrial emissions, and atmospheric science. Converts easily to mg/L.

Specific Gravity (SG)

Specific gravity (SG) is the dimensionless ratio of a substance's density to water at 4°C. Water = 1.0 by definition. Gasoline: 0.72-0.78. Honey: 1.4. Mercury: 13.6. Gold: 19.3. Also called relative density. Objects with SG < 1 float in water.
