What does femtogram/liter measure?

Femtogram per liter represents an ultratrace mass concentration unit, quantifying extremely small masses per liter of liquid, often used in high-sensitivity chemical and environmental analyses.

Where is grain/gallon (UK) commonly used?

Grain per gallon (UK) is traditionally used in the United Kingdom for measuring water hardness, boiler feedwater specifications, and industrial scale-control.

Why are conversions from fg/L to grain/gallon (UK) often very small numbers?

Because femtogram per liter measures extremely small masses, converting to the larger grain/gallon (UK) unit results in tiny numerical values, best expressed using scientific notation.
