Examples

  • 2 pound/gallon (UK) converts to 2,000,000 pound/million gallon (UK)
  • 0.5 pound/gallon (UK) converts to 500,000 pound/million gallon (UK)

Common Use Cases

  • Expressing industrial or engineering solution strengths using imperial units
  • Specifying chemical dosing in municipal water and wastewater treatment plants
  • Reporting concentrations for cooling towers and boiler water treatment
  • Complying with environmental permits requiring imperial volume-based dosing units

Tips & Best Practices

  • Verify units carefully to ensure proper interpretation of concentration values
  • Be cautious when converting highly concentrated solutions to avoid loss of precision
  • Use the conversion tool to maintain consistency with UK regulatory standards
  • Confirm the context to decide when to apply pound per UK gallon versus pound per million gallon

Limitations

  • Conversions to pound/million gallon (UK) are best for highly dilute solutions due to scaling
  • Care should be taken with precision loss when working with high concentrations
  • Minor variations in imperial gallon definitions may affect exact dosing calculations

Frequently Asked Questions

What does pound per gallon (UK) measure?
It measures the mass of a substance in avoirdupois pounds per one imperial UK gallon of solution, reflecting concentration.

Why convert to pound per million gallon (UK)?
To express very dilute chemical concentrations over large volumes typically used in municipal water treatment and environmental permits.

Can this tool be used for precise chemical dosing calculations?
While useful for conversions, precise dosing should account for potential rounding and variations in imperial gallon definitions.

Key Terminology

Pound per UK gallon
A mass-concentration unit indicating how many avoirdupois pounds of solute are present per imperial UK gallon of solution.
Pound per million gallon (UK)
A concentration unit expressing mass of solute in pounds per one million UK gallons of solution.
Imperial gallon
A volume measure used in the UK and Commonwealth countries, approximately 4.54609 liters.
