Gram per cubic centimeter is a density unit widely used in laboratory and chemistry settings for small samples.
Within the decimal metric system, gram and cubic centimeter were combined to express the density of small-scale samples in a practical way.
Measurement system: International System of Units (SI, subunit combination). SI equivalent: 1 g/cm³ = 1000 kg/m³.
