What does grain/gallon (US) measure?

Grain per U.S. gallon is a density unit expressing mass per volume, specifically one grain (64.79891 mg) of substance per one U.S. liquid gallon.

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

Converting enables translation from traditional water hardness or mineral concentration measures into metric units used in laboratory analysis and engineering.

Where is dekagram per liter commonly used?

Dekagram per liter is used to describe concentration in dilute laboratory solutions, bulk density of powders, and solute mass in food and beverage monitoring.
