What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms concentration values expressed in parts per million (ppm), a dimensionless unit commonly representing mass fraction or mg/L, into pound per million UK gallons, a mass concentration unit used in water and process stream chemical dosing in the UK.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the concentration value in part/million (ppm) you want to convert.
  • Select 'part/million (ppm)' as the source unit and 'pound/million gallon (UK)' as the target unit.
  • Click the convert button to obtain the equivalent concentration in pound/million gallon (UK).
  • Use the results for chemical dosing, water treatment reporting, or regulatory compliance in UK applications.

Key Features

  • Converts concentration values from part/million (ppm) to pound/million gallon (UK) units.
  • Uses a precise conversion factor specific to UK imperial gallons and dilute aqueous solutions.
  • Supports applications in municipal water treatment, industrial dosing, and environmental reporting.
  • Browser-based and easy-to-use interface designed for quick and accurate unit translation.

Examples

  • Converting 1 ppm gives 10.0109771907 pound/million gallon (UK).
  • Converting 5 ppm results in 50.0548859535 pound/million gallon (UK).

Common Use Cases

  • Reporting dissolved contaminants like lead or nitrate in water supplies as ppm and converting to UK volumetric dosing units.
  • Setting or verifying chemical feed concentrations for cooling towers and boiler water treatment systems using UK gallon measures.
  • Complying with environmental permits and regulations that specify dosing concentrations in pound per million UK gallons.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure that the solution is dilute and aqueous for the conversion to be applicable.
  • Use this conversion specifically for UK imperial gallon volumetrics, not for US gallons or non-water solutions.
  • Double-check concentrations and units when reporting chemical doses for regulatory submissions.

Limitations

  • Approximation assumes dilute aqueous solutions with density close to water, limiting use for other types of solutions.
  • Conversion is specific to UK imperial gallons and is not appropriate for US gallon-based measurements.
  • The tool does not account for variations in solution density or non-aqueous chemical concentrations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does part/million (ppm) represent?
Parts per million (ppm) is a dimensionless concentration unit equal to one part solute per one million parts of solution, commonly used as a mass fraction or approximately 1 mg/L in dilute aqueous solutions.

Why use pound/million gallon (UK) for concentration?
Pound per million gallon (UK) expresses solute mass per volume based on UK imperial gallons, commonly used for reporting and specifying chemical doses in UK water treatment and industrial process streams.

Can I use this converter for US gallons?
No, this conversion tool is specific to UK imperial gallons and may not provide accurate results for US gallon volumetrics.

Key Terminology

Part/million (ppm)
A unit indicating one part solute per one million parts of solution, often used to describe mass fraction or mg/L in dilute aqueous solutions.
Pound/million gallon (UK)
A concentration expressing mass of solute in pounds per million UK imperial gallons of solution, used for dosing and reporting in UK water treatment.
