Conversion of density units 
Definition: density = mass divided by volume; symbol ρ = m / V
 
ρ (rho) = density, m = mass, V = volume. The SI unit of density is kg/m3.
Water of 4 °C is the reference ρ = 1000 kg/m3 = 1 kg/dm3 = 1 kg/l or 1 g/cm3 = 1 g/ml.

Conversions of other density units

Many people still use g/cm3 (gram per cubic centimeter) or kg/L (kilograms per liter) to measure density.
The SI standard is really kg / m3.
The following values correspond to the SI standard of 1 kg/m3 = 0.001 g/cm3 = 1000 g/m3 =
0.000001 kg/cm3.
1 kg/dm3 = 1 kg/L = 1000 g/1000 cm3 = 1 g/cm3 = 1 g/ml (water).

 
Water as the reference with its highest density at 3.98 °C is ρ = 1 g/cm3.
The correct SI unit is ρ = 1000 kg/m3.
1 m3 = 1,000,000 cm3.

 
Examples: Solid - water - noble gas
Copper has a density of 8950 kg/m3 = 8.95 kg/dm3 = 8.95 g/cm3.
Water has a density of 1000 kg/m3 = 1000 g/L = 1 kg/dm3 = 1 kg/L = 1 g/cm3 = 1 g/mL.

Helium has a density of 0.1785 kg/m3 = 0.1785 g/L = 0.0001785 kg/dm3 = 0.0001785 kg/L =
0.0001785 g/cm3 = 0.0001785 g/mL.

The dependence of the pressure on the water density is low. Per 1 bar = 100000 Pa pressure increase, the density increases to about 0.046 kg/m³. Therefore normal air pressure fluctuations have practically no influence on the density of water.
