  2. Parts-per notation - Wikipedia

    Fluorescein aqueous solutions, diluted from 10,000 to 1 parts-per-million in intervals of 10 fold dilution. At 1 ppm the solution is a very pale yellow. At 1 ppm the solution is a very pale yellow. As the concentration increases the colour becomes a more vibrant yellow, then orange, with the final 10,000 ppm a deep red colour.

  3. Drinking water quality standards - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drinking_water_quality...

    " indicates that no standard has been identified by editors of this article and ns indicates that no standard exists. μg/L = micrograms per litre, or 0.001 ppm; mg/L = 1 ppm, or 1000 μg/L. * means action level; not a concentration standard. A public water system exceeding the action level must implement "treatment techniques" which are ...

  4. Saline water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saline_water

    Seawater has a salinity of roughly 35,000 ppm, equivalent to 35 grams of salt per one liter (or kilogram) of water. The saturation level is only nominally dependent on the temperature of the water. [1] At 20 °C (68 °F) one liter of water can dissolve about 357 grams of salt, a concentration of 26.3 percent by weight (% w/w). At 100 °C (212 ...

  5. Molar concentration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molar_concentration

    Molar concentration or molarity is most commonly expressed in units of moles of solute per litre of solution. [1] For use in broader applications, it is defined as amount of substance of solute per unit volume of solution, or per unit volume available to the species, represented by lowercase : [2]

  6. Total dissolved solids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_dissolved_solids

    where TDS is expressed in mg/L and EC is the electrical conductivity in microsiemens per centimeter at 25 °C. The conversion factor k e varies between 0.55 and 0.8. [5] Some TDS meters use an electrical conductivity measurement to the ppm using the above formula. Regarding units, 1 ppm indicates 1 mg of dissolved solids per 1,000 g of water. [6]

  7. Hard water - Wikipedia

    Parts per million (ppm) is usually defined as 1 mg/L CaCO 3 (the definition used below). [20] It is equivalent to mg/L without chemical compound specified, and to American degree. Grain per gallon (gpg) is defined as 1 grain (64.8 mg) of calcium carbonate per U.S. gallon (3.79 litres), or 17.118 ppm.

  8. Litre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litre

    The litre (Commonwealth spelling) or liter (American spelling) (SI symbols L and l, [1] other symbol used: ) is a metric unit of volume. It is equal to 1 cubic decimetre (dm 3 ), 1000 cubic centimetres (cm 3 ) or 0.001 cubic metres (m 3 ).

    The examples don't seem to be too accurate. A drop is usually defined as 0.05 ml, which then gives;. 1 drop in 50 ml = 1‰, 50ml is a very small cup 1 drop in 50 l = 1ppm 50 l is about 11 gallons, not 40 1 drop in 50 cubic metres = 1 ppb 1 drop = 1ppt, a 50 m swimming pool is 50*25*2 = 2,500 m^3 1 drop in 50,000,000 cubic metres = 1ppq, 50,000,000 m^3 is equivalent to a lake covering a square ...
