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

Milligram per liter is a unit measuring the mass of a substance in milligrams per liter of solution, commonly used to express concentrations in dilute aqueous solutions.

Why use psi/1000 feet for pressure gradients?

Psi per 1000 feet quantifies how pressure changes with each 1,000 feet of vertical depth and helps infer fluid density or mud weight in petroleum and wellbore engineering.

Can this converter be used for any fluid type?

This conversion is primarily suited for dilute aqueous solutions and vertical well pressure gradients; it may not apply accurately for complex mixtures or non-vertical pressure systems.
