What does grain/gallon (US) measure?

Grain/gallon (US) is a density unit expressing mass as grains per one U.S. liquid gallon volume, commonly used to report water hardness and mineral concentrations.

Why convert grain/gallon to pound/cubic foot?

Converting grain/gallon to pound/cubic foot helps translate concentration measurements into density units that are widely used in US customary engineering and industrial applications.

Can I use this conversion for non-water substances?

The grain/gallon unit is specific to substances dissolved in a U.S. liquid gallon volume, so it may not directly apply to non-aqueous substances or non-standard volumes.
