What is Specific Weight?
Specific weight, also known as unit weight, is the weight of a material per unit volume. It is measured in units such as newton per cubic meter (N/m³) and kilonewton per cubic meter (kN/m³). Unlike mass density, specific weight depends on gravitational acceleration because it is based on weight rather than mass.
Specific weight is widely used in civil engineering, geotechnical engineering, hydraulics, fluid mechanics, and construction to calculate structural loads, earth pressure, buoyancy, and hydrostatic forces.
What is Pound-force per Cubic Foot?
Pound-force per cubic foot (symbol: lbf/ft³) is an Imperial and US customary unit of specific weight that expresses the gravitational force, in pound-force, exerted by a material occupying one cubic foot of volume. It measures weight per unit volume rather than mass per unit volume.
The pound-force per cubic foot is widely used in civil engineering, geotechnical engineering, hydraulics, construction, and material science in countries that use the Imperial or US customary system. It can be converted directly to and from other specific weight units such as newton per cubic meter, kilonewton per cubic meter, kilogram-force per cubic meter, and pound-force per cubic inch.
What is Kilogram-force per Cubic Meter?
Kilogram-force per cubic meter (symbol: kgf/m³) is a unit of specific weight that expresses the gravitational force exerted by one kilogram-force distributed over a volume of one cubic meter. It measures the weight of a material per unit volume rather than its mass per unit volume.
The kilogram-force per cubic meter is primarily used in engineering and technical fields where the gravitational force of materials is considered. Although the SI unit of specific weight is the newton per cubic meter (N/m³), kgf/m³ is still encountered in older engineering literature and some practical applications. It can be converted directly to and from other specific weight units such as newton per cubic meter, kilonewton per cubic meter, and pound-force per cubic foot.
