What does grain per gallon (US) measure?

It is a density unit expressing mass per volume, indicating how many grains of a substance are present in one U.S. liquid gallon of water.

Are environmental conditions considered in the conversion?

This conversion assumes standard temperature and pressure, and variations can influence density measurements.
