Enter the mass and density into the calculator to determine the volume. This calculator can also evaluate any of the variables given the others are known.

Grams To Inches Formula

The following formula can be used to calculate the volume in cubic inches from the mass in grams for a specific material.

V = M / D

Variables:

  • V is the volume in cubic inches (in³)
  • M is the mass in grams (g)
  • D is the density of the material in grams per cubic inch (g/in³)

To calculate the volume in cubic inches, divide the mass in grams by the density of the material in grams per cubic inch. Please note that this formula is only applicable if the density of the material is known and is constant.

What is Grams To Inches?

Grams to inches is not a valid conversion as they are measurements of different properties. Grams is a unit of mass in the metric system, while inches is a unit of length in the imperial system. Therefore, it is not possible to directly convert grams to inches. However, if you have a specific material, you can potentially convert grams to volume (like cubic inches) based on the material’s density, but not to a linear measurement like inches.

How to Calculate Grams To Inches?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Grams To Inches using the formula V = M / D.


  1. First, determine the mass in grams (M).
  2. Next, determine the density of the material in grams per cubic inch (D).
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = V = M / D.
  4. Finally, calculate the volume in cubic inches (V).
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

mass in grams (M) = 150

density of the material in grams per cubic inch (D) = 0.5
