What does hectogram per liter [hg/L] measure?

It measures density as mass in hectograms per volume in liters, where 1 hg/L equals 100 grams per liter.

Why convert hg/L to psi per 1000 feet?

This conversion links fluid density to hydrostatic pressure gradients, which are important for wellbore pressure and drilling analyses.

Can this conversion be used for turbulent fluid flow?

No, it is primarily applicable for fluids under hydrostatic conditions and may not yield accurate results for turbulent or dynamic flows.
