What does grain/gallon (US) measure?

Grain per U.S. gallon (gpg) measures density as mass per unit volume, representing one grain of mass per one U.S. liquid gallon.

When should I use teragram/liter (Tg/L) units?

Teragram per liter is used to express extremely high mass densities typically found in astrophysical models or high-energy physics simulations.

Is this conversion practical for water treatment applications?

While grain/gallon is common in water treatment, converting to teragram/liter is mainly relevant for scientific contexts with extremely high density values rather than practical engineering.
