What does grain/gallon (UK) measure?

It measures mass concentration by expressing how many avoirdupois grains are contained in one UK gallon, commonly used for water hardness.

Why convert grain/gallon (UK) to decigram/liter?

To translate traditional UK water hardness data into metric units suitable for scientific and international use.

Is this conversion exact and universally applicable?

The conversion uses a defined factor but small rounding differences may occur due to unit definitions and it is less suitable for very concentrated solutions.
