What does kilogram per liter (kg/L) measure?

Kilogram per liter is a density unit representing mass in kilograms per volume in liters, commonly used for liquids and some industrial materials.

When should I use centigram per liter (cg/L)?

Centigram per liter is best used for expressing very low mass concentrations or trace substances in fluids, such as in environmental or laboratory analyses.

How do I convert kg/L to cg/L?

Multiply the value in kilogram per liter by 100,000 to get the equivalent in centigram per liter.
