How to convert kilograms per cubic meter to pounds per cubic foot
Density is mass divided by volume. Converting its units does not change the substance, temperature or pressure; converting a mass to a volume separately requires a density appropriate to those conditions.
lb/ft³ = kg/m³ ÷ 16.01846337One pound per cubic foot corresponds to 16.01846337 kilograms per cubic meter, so divide by that figure. Displayed constants may be rounded; the converter uses the stored factor before rounding the result.

Sources and precision
Table results are rounded to 8 significant digits; formula constants may be rounded to 10. Worked example answers use 6 significant digits. The converter starts at 6 significant digits and lets you change display precision. Calculations use the stored factors without intermediate rounding. Exact unit definitions do not make an input measurement more precise; conventional and measured factors follow the assumptions stated here.
