What does milligram per liter (mg/L) represent?

Milligram per liter (mg/L) is a mass-concentration unit expressing the mass of a substance in milligrams contained in one liter of solution, often used to report solute concentrations.

When should I use pound per cubic foot (lb/ft³) units?

Pound per cubic foot (lb/ft³) is used to express mass density in the imperial system, commonly applied in HVAC design, construction material assessments, and industrial engineering in the US.

Can I convert any solution mg/L value to lb/ft³ accurately?

Conversions are most reliable for dilute aqueous solutions; deviations may occur for non-aqueous or complex mixtures due to density variations.
