Volume (cm³): 0.00

Density (g/cm³): 0.00

Mass (g): 0.00

Calculation Formula

Volume (cm³) = Grain Weight (grains) × 0.000064799 × Density (g/cm³)

Where:
- 0.000064799 is the conversion factor from grains to grams
- Grain Weight is measured in grains
- Density is measured in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³)

Grain to Cubic Centimeter Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Grain to Cubic Centimeter Calculator and understand the principles behind grain density calculations

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the weight of your grain in grains in the "Grain Weight" field.
  2. Select the type of grain from the dropdown menu. Common grain types are included, or you can select "Custom" if your grain type isn't listed.
  3. If you selected "Custom," enter the density of your grain in g/cm³.
  4. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the volume in cubic centimeters.
  5. The results will show the volume in cm³, the density used, and the mass in grams.

Understanding Grain Density

Grain density (or specific gravity) is the mass of a material per unit volume. It's an important property when converting grain weight to volume. The calculator uses standard densities for common grains:

  • Lead: 11.34 g/cm³
  • Tin: 7.29 g/cm³
  • Copper: 8.96 g/cm³
  • Zinc: 7.13 g/cm³
  • Aluminum: 2.70 g/cm³

The formula used in this calculator is:

Volume (cm³) = Grain Weight (grains) × 0.000064799 × Density (g/cm³)

Where 0.000064799 is the conversion factor from grains to grams (1 grain = 0.064799 grams).

Applications
