(MG/L, mg/L) is a unit for expressing the concentration of chemical constituents in solution. Milligrams per liter represent the mass of solute per unit volume (liter) of solution. Concentration of suspended sediment also is expressed in mg/L, and is based on the mass of dry sediment per liter of water-sediment mixture.
A unit expressing the concentration chemical constituents in solution as mass (milligrams) of solute per unit volume (liter) of water. Concentration of suspended sediment also is expressed in milligrams per liter and is based on the mass (dry weight) of sediment per liter of water-sediment mixture.
A measure of concentration of a dissolved substance. A concentration of 1 mg/l means that one milligram of a substance is dissolved in each liter of water. For practical purposes, this unit of measurement is equivalent to parts per million, or ppm.
A measuring unit for constituents in water. Constituents in water are often measured in very small units. One milligram per liter equals one part per million.
(mg/l) a measure of the amount of dissolved solids in a solution in terms of milligrams of solid per liter of solution; Equivalent to part per million in water or 1mg/l=1ppm
one milligram per liter corresponds to one penny in $10,000 (same as parts per million or ppm).
(mg/L) A common unit of measurement of the concentration of a material in solution.
The weight in milligrams of any substance contained in 1 liter of liquid. (Equivalent to parts per million for values less than about 7,000 mg/L.)
The weight of a chemical dissolved in a volume of water. A concentration of 1 mg/l means that one milligram of a chemical is dissolved in each liter (approximately 1 quart) of water. Commonly referred to as parts per million, or ppm.
A unit that expresses the concentration of a substance in a solution. A millligram per liter is one one-thousandth of a gram of substance per liter of solution. One mg/L of sugar in water is about the same as a teaspoon of sugar in 2,100 gallons of water. For low concentrations in water, milligrams per liter (mg/L) is about the same as parts per million (ppm).
A unit of concentration of water or wastewater constituent. It is 0.001 g of the constituent in 1000 ml of water. The unit parts per million is identical to milligrams per liter.
A unit of measure for the amount of free sulfites (milligrams) in a quantity of wine, juice or must (liters) that is typically abbreviated mg/L. Milligrams per liter corresponds directly to parts per million (ppm) such that as an example 50 mg/L is equal to 50 ppm.
A unit expressing the concentration of chemical constituents in solution as weight (milligrams) of solute per unit volume (liter) of water; equivalent to one part per million in most streamwater and ground water. One thousand micrograms per liter equals 1 mg/L.
(mg/L) A measure of concentration in dilute solutions, equivalent to and replacing ppm.
A measure of the concentration of a substance in water. For most measurements of water quality pollutants, 1 mg/l is equivalent to 1 part per million.
A unit measure of the concentration of a component substance measured by the amount of milligrams of that substance that exists in one liter of a particular liquid which is typically water.
An expression for concentration, usually in reference to a liquid, roughly equivalent to parts per million; for example, 1 gallon of food coloring placed in 1 million gallons of water would result in a concentration of food coloring in the water of 1 mg/L. Water from the ocean has a salt concentration of approximately 18,000 mg/L.
A unit (abbreviated as mg/L) used to measure dissolved oxygen and other chemicals. It is a measure of concentration, not absolute amounts. [Note: 1 mg/L = 1 ppm
a unit of the concentration of a constituent in water or wastewater. It represents 0.001 gram of a constituent in 1 liter of water. It is approximately equal to one part per million (PPM).
A unit of concentration of matter used in reporting the results of water analyses. The preferred unit of measure.
The weight of a substance measured in milligrams contained in 1 liter. It is equivalent to 1 part per million in water measure.
(mg/L)--Milligrams per liter of water. This measure is equivalent to parts per million (ppm).
