What does decigram per liter (dg/L) measure?

It measures mass concentration as decigrams of mass per liter of volume, used for low concentration solutions.

What is psi per 1000 feet used for?

Psi per 1000 feet expresses pressure gradient changes with vertical depth, important in hydrostatic pressure and petroleum engineering.

Is this conversion valid for all fluids?

The conversion assumes standard gravitational conditions and may not be accurate for fluids with varying compressibility or in varying gravity fields.
