What does grain/gallon (UK) measure?

It is a density unit expressing mass per volume, specifically one avoirdupois grain of mass per imperial gallon in the UK system.

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

Converting to dekagram per liter helps in laboratory and industrial settings where metric units are standard for reporting density and concentration.

Can I use this conversion for US gallons?

No, the tool is designed for grain per UK gallon; using US gallons will lead to inaccurate conversions.
