How can covert stowage factor of cargo to cargo density ?

he stowage factor (SF) and cargo density are related, but they describe different aspects of cargo. The stowage factor is the amount of volume with a given mass of cargo occupies, typically expressed in cubic meters per metric ton (m³/ton) or cubic feet per long ton (ft³/long ton). On the other hand, cargo density is the mass of the cargo per unit of volume, typically expressed in metric tons per cubic meter (tons/m³) or pounds per cubic foot (lbs/ft³).

To convert the stowage factor to cargo density, you can use the following relationship:

Formula:
Cargo Density (tons/m³)
=
1
Stowage Factor (m³/ton)
Cargo Density (tons/m³)=
Stowage Factor (m³/ton)
1
​

This formula works because the stowage factor is the inverse of the cargo density.

Example Conversion:
If the stowage factor is 1.2 m³/ton, the cargo density is:

Cargo Density
=
1
1.2
 
m³/ton
=
0.8333
 
tons/m³
Cargo Density=
1.2m³/ton
1
​
=0.8333tons/m³
Units:
Stowage factor: m³/ton
Cargo density: tons/m³
So, to summarize:

Stowage Factor (m³/ton) = Volume occupied by 1 metric ton of cargo.
Cargo Density (tons/m³) = Weight of cargo per unit of volume.
Make sure to use consistent units when performing the conversion.
