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 Slug per cubic foot (slug/ft³)

A US engineering density unit using the 'slug' as the mass unit — the mass that accelerates at exactly 1 ft/s² when a force of 1 lbf is applied (1 slug ≈ 14.5939 kg per NIST SP 811). Slug/ft³ exists almost exclusively in US aerospace engineering, where it keeps Newton's second law F = ma dimensionally consistent in imperial units without inserting a gravitational-constant factor gc. Reference values from the ICAO International Standard Atmosphere (ISA): sea-level density ρ₀ = 0.002377 slug/ft³ (= 1.225 kg/m³), 10,000 ft pressure altitude 0.001756 slug/ft³, 30,000 ft 0.000891 slug/ft³, 60,000 ft 0.000224 slug/ft³. Aerodynamics textbooks (Anderson, Bertin & Cummings) and Federal Aviation Regulation Part 23/25 performance certification work use slug/ft³ directly in the dynamic pressure q = ½ρV², lift L = ½ρV²S·C_L, and drag D = ½ρV²S·C_D equations. NACA / NASA wind-tunnel reports historically tabulate atmospheric density in slug/ft³. 1 slug/ft³ ≈ 515.38 kg/m³.
