What does grain/gallon (UK) measure?

It is a density unit expressing mass per volume, specifically one avoirdupois grain of mass per UK gallon, often used for water hardness or dissolved solids.

Why convert grain/gallon (UK) to pound/cubic foot?

Converting allows translation of traditional UK water hardness or dissolved solids measurements into imperial units commonly used in US industrial, engineering, and HVAC contexts.

Is this conversion suitable for solids?

This converter is primarily designed for dilute solutions and fluids; for solids or highly concentrated substances, additional corrections may be necessary.
