What does grain/gallon (US) measure?

Grain per U.S. gallon (gpg) is a density unit expressing a mass of 64.79891 milligrams per one U.S. liquid gallon, commonly used to report water hardness and mineral concentrations.

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

Conversion to nanogram/liter facilitates analysis of ultra-trace concentrations, integrating traditional water hardness measurements with modern environmental and biochemical data reported in metric units.

Can I use this converter for trace contaminant analysis?

Yes, nanogram/liter is suitable for reporting very low levels of substances in water, clinical assays, and environmental toxicology, whereas grain/gallon (US) is typically used for coarser measurements.
