M mountain crusher Guest Jan 29, 2009 #2 No. This is a simple conversion problem, from metric to english units. grams to lbs - 13.6g is 0.0299lbs cc to cid - 1 cc is 0.061 cubic inches divide to get 0.49 lbs per cubic inch. Your box is 4 x 4 x 8 = 128 cubic inches, and would hold 62.7 lbs Hg, less than a full flask.
