What does 1 decigram per liter (dg/L) represent?

It represents a mass concentration where one decigram of mass is contained in one liter of volume.

Why convert from dg/L to kg/m³?

Converting to kilogram per cubic meter aligns with standard SI units, facilitating analysis and reporting in scientific and engineering fields.

Is this unit converter suitable for solid materials?

No, decigram per liter is generally used for dilute liquid solutions and may not be practical for solids or very dense fluids.
