What does grain/gallon (UK) measure?

Grain/gallon (UK) is a density unit expressing mass per volume, defined as one avoirdupois grain per imperial (UK) gallon, often used for water hardness or dissolved solids.

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

Converting to gram/liter allows for standardized reporting using SI units, facilitating scientific comparison and compliance with international regulations.

Can I use this converter for US gallons?

No, this conversion is specific to the imperial (UK) gallon and does not apply to US gallons or other volume definitions.
