What does grain/gallon (US) measure?

Grain/gallon (US) is a density unit expressing mass per volume, defined as one grain of substance per one U.S. liquid gallon.

Why convert grain/gallon (US) to pound/gallon (UK)?

Converting between these units helps relate American water hardness or concentration measurements to density units used in British industrial or engineering fields.

Does this converter account for temperature or pressure?

No, the conversion is based on fixed unit definitions and does not adjust for temperature or pressure variations affecting density.

Examples

10 grain/gallon (US) converts to 0.001715643 pound/gallon (UK).
100 grain/gallon (US) converts to 0.01715643 pound/gallon (UK).

Common Use Cases

Reporting domestic or municipal water hardness measurements in different unit systems.
Specifying mineral concentrations for boiler feedwater and water treatment processes.
Calculating densities of fuels, lubricants, and petroleum products in British engineering documents.
Determining liquid mass in storage tanks measured in Imperial gallons.
Converting customary concentration values to metric or Imperial units for engineering calculations.

Tips & Best Practices

Always ensure the input values are measured using the correct US gallon volume standard.
Be mindful of differences between US and UK gallon volumes when comparing results.
Use this conversion for concentrations and density measures relevant to engineering and industrial contexts.
Confirm whether temperature or pressure conditions might affect density if precise applications require it.
Cross-check converted values when integrating with metric units or international documentation.

Limitations

The gallon volume differences between US and UK standards must be taken into account.
Conversion factors apply only to the defined unit masses and volumes without adjustment for environmental variables.
Temperature and pressure effects on volume or density are not considered in this simple unit conversion.
