About Gram per cubic centimeter (g/cm³)
A CGS-system density unit numerically equal to specific gravity relative to water at 4 °C (water = 1.000 g/cm³ by the original 1795 kilogram definition). 1 g/cm³ = 1,000 kg/m³, making the conversion between this CGS unit and the SI trivial. Widely used in geology (sedimentary rock 2.0-2.7 g/cm³, granite 2.65-2.75, basalt 2.8-3.0), crystallography and gemology (diamond 3.52 g/cm³, ruby and sapphire 4.00, opal 1.98-2.25 — density is the primary non-destructive ID method for cut gemstones), polymer chemistry (HDPE 0.94-0.97, PP 0.85-0.95, PET 1.37-1.45, PVC 1.30-1.45), and the wine, beer, and spirits industry where density is reported as specific gravity (final-gravity vs original-gravity readings drive ABV calculation). Petroleum: API gravity is defined directly from g/cm³ as °API = (141.5 / SG) − 131.5.
About Kilogram per liter (kg/L)
A density unit numerically identical to g/cm³ and g/mL (since 1 L ≡ 1,000 cm³ ≡ 1,000 mL by SI definition). Kg/L is a natural unit for industrial liquids and a working unit for fuel quality and dispensing: gasoline ~0.74 kg/L (RBOB regular at 15 °C per ASTM D4052), diesel ~0.832 kg/L, kerosene/Jet A1 0.775-0.840 kg/L (range per ASTM D1655 / DEF STAN 91-091), jet fuel JP-8 ~0.80 kg/L, residential heating oil ~0.86 kg/L, residual fuel oil (HFO) 0.95-1.01 kg/L. Aviation fuel uplift uses kg/L to convert delivered volume (liters) into mass (kilograms) for the load-and-balance manifest — fuel volume contracts at altitude/cold but the mass that matters for performance stays constant. Wine, beer, and spirits production also uses kg/L for batch yield calculations and ABV-from-density math. 1 kg/L = 1,000 kg/m³ = 8.345 lb/gal.
