About Gram per milliliter (g/mL)
A density unit numerically identical to g/cm³ (since 1 mL ≡ 1 cm³ exactly by SI definition). Gram per milliliter is the universal working unit in analytical chemistry, pharmacy, biology, and clinical laboratory medicine: liquid reagent specifications, drug formulation density data, USP / EP / JP / BP / IP pharmacopoeial monographs, hydrometer-based density measurement, and solution-preparation calculations (where mass-volume conversions are routine) all use g/mL. The CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics tabulates several thousand pure-liquid densities in g/mL at 20-25 °C. Pharmaceutical examples: glycerin 1.261 g/mL, propylene glycol 1.036 g/mL, USP-grade ethanol (96% v/v) 0.8161 g/mL at 20 °C. Lab/clinical examples: human blood 1.060 g/mL, urine 1.005-1.030 g/mL (used for diagnostic specific gravity). Convert g/mL to kg/m³ by multiplying by 1,000; to lb/gal by multiplying by 8.345.
About Pound per gallon (lb/gal)
A liquid-density unit (lb per US gallon, abbreviated lb/gal or ppg in oilfield jargon) heavily used in US industry. Reference values: fresh water at 60 °F is 8.345 lb/gal (the universal calibration baseline), sea water ~8.55 lb/gal, gasoline ~6.15 lb/gal, kerosene/Jet A 6.5-6.8 lb/gal, diesel 6.9-7.1 lb/gal, milk ~8.6 lb/gal. The dominant industrial use is drilling-mud density in oil and gas operations: API RP 13B and the IADC mud-handling tables specify mud weight in ppg, and the hydrostatic-pressure formula in psi/ft is mud weight × 0.052 directly. Drillers chase a mud weight just heavy enough to control pore pressure but not heavy enough to fracture the formation (the 'mud window'). Lb/gal also appears in paints/coatings (VOC compliance reporting), industrial cleaners, and beer/wort specific-gravity work (homebrew + craft-brewing). Convert: 1 lb/gal = 119.83 kg/m³ = 0.1198 g/mL.
