Key Terminology
-
Grain/gallon (US) [gr/gal (US)]
-
A mass-per-volume concentration unit indicating grains of solute per US gallon of solution, used widely in water hardness and treatment contexts.
-
Kilogram/liter [kg/L]
-
A measurement of mass concentration expressing kilograms of substance per liter of solution, commonly used for liquid density and solute concentration.
