What does grain/gallon (UK) measure?

It is a density unit representing mass in grains per imperial gallon, often used for water hardness and dissolved solids in UK water analysis.

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

Converting to pound/cubic inch provides compatibility with US engineering and material science calculations where mass and volume units are in pounds and cubic inches.

Are these units interchangeable in other contexts?

No. This conversion is specific to situations involving UK and US customary units; misuse may cause errors outside these traditional measurements.
