What does grain/gallon (US) measure?

It measures density as the mass of 1 grain per one US liquid gallon, often used to indicate water hardness or mineral concentrations.

Why convert grain/gallon to gram/liter?

Converting to gram/liter allows for standardized metric reporting compatible with scientific and environmental analysis.

Is this conversion affected by temperature?

Yes, since the conversion assumes standard conditions, changes in temperature or solution composition may influence accuracy.
