  • Employ the standard conversion rate precisely as defined for accuracy
  • Be aware of possible influences from temperature and solution composition on measurements

Limitations

  • The unit pound/gallon (UK) is tied specifically to the imperial UK gallon, not the US gallon
  • Variations in temperature and solution composition may affect concentration accuracy
  • Pound/gallon (UK) is a historical unit and may not be intuitive for all users, requiring careful unit translation

Frequently Asked Questions

What does pound per UK gallon measure?
It measures the mass concentration indicating how many pounds of a substance are in one imperial (UK) gallon of solution.

Why convert pound/gallon (UK) to kilogram/liter?
To standardize older or regional data into the SI system, ensuring clear communication and consistency in scientific and industrial contexts.

Is pound/gallon (UK) the same as pound per US gallon?
No, pound/gallon (UK) uses the imperial gallon which is different in volume compared to the US gallon, so conversions must use the correct gallon type.

Key Terminology

Pound/gallon (UK)
A mass concentration unit showing pounds of substance per imperial UK gallon of solution.
Kilogram/liter [kg/L]
An SI unit expressing mass concentration or density as kilograms per liter of volume.
Imperial (UK) gallon
A unit of volume used in the UK and some Commonwealth countries, distinct from the US gallon.
