What does dekagram per liter measure?

Dekagram per liter (dag/L) measures mass density, indicating how many dekagrams of mass exist per liter of volume, commonly used for dilute solutions and bulk powders.

When should I use megagram per liter units?

Megagram per liter (Mg/L) is used for extremely large density values, especially in scientific fields like astrophysics or high-pressure material physics.

How do I convert from dag/L to Mg/L?

Multiply the value in dag/L by 0.00001 to get the equivalent density in Mg/L.
