What does dekagram per liter (dag/L) measure?

It measures mass density, expressing mass per unit volume in metric units, commonly used for dilute solutions or bulk materials.

Why convert dag/L to psi/1000 feet?

To translate density measurements into pressure gradients that reflect fluid column pressures important in wellbore and petroleum engineering.

Can this conversion be used for non-vertical pressure gradients?

No, the conversion is specific to vertical depth and assumes a constant gravitational field.
