What does centigram per liter (cg/L) measure?

Centigram per liter is a unit of mass density representing mass per volume, used for very low mass concentrations in fluids.

Why convert cg/L to psi per 1000 feet?

Because psi/1000 feet expresses hydrostatic pressure gradients, converting helps relate low-density fluid concentrations to pressure changes in engineering.

Can this conversion be used for non-vertical fluid columns?

Since psi/1000 feet is based on vertical depth, it may not fully apply to horizontal or irregularly shaped fluid columns.
