How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the concentration value in grain per US gallon (gr/gal US)
  • Select the output unit as pound per million UK gallon
  • Click convert to get the equivalent concentration in pound/million gallon (UK)
  • Use the result for reporting, specification, or compliance purposes

Key Features

  • Converts grain/gallon (US) to pound/million gallon (UK) concentration units
  • Uses official definitions for grain and gallon volumes
  • Supports water treatment and industrial application contexts
  • Calculates based on a fixed conversion rate for consistent results
  • Browser-based and easy to use without additional software

Examples

  • 2 gr/gal (US) converts to 343.13 pound/million gallon (UK)
  • 0.5 gr/gal (US) converts to 85.78 pound/million gallon (UK)

Common Use Cases

  • Reporting water hardness levels as CaCO₃ equivalent in municipal water supplies
  • Specifying water softener capacities based on hardness removal
  • Dosing chlorine and coagulants in UK municipal water and wastewater treatment
  • Chemical feed concentration settings for cooling towers and boiler water treatment
