Frequently Asked Questions

What does milligram per liter (mg/L) represent?
Milligram per liter (mg/L) measures the mass of a solute in milligrams contained within one liter of solution, often used to express contaminant concentrations in water.

When should I use pound per million gallon (US)?
Pound per million gallon (US) is used mainly in water and wastewater engineering to express very low concentrations and for regulatory reporting.

Is this conversion valid for all types of solutions?
This conversion is most accurate for dilute aqueous solutions at typical densities; deviations from these conditions may affect accuracy.

Key Terminology

Milligram per liter (mg/L)
A unit measuring the mass of solute in milligrams contained in one liter of solution, commonly used to describe contaminant concentrations.
Pound per million gallon (US)
A concentration unit representing pounds of substance per one million US gallons of water, used especially in water and wastewater engineering.
