Dear all,

I am looking to find a possible conversion of mg/l to ppm.

I work offshore within offshore drilling. We deal with H2S at the moment. My equipment that i use to test concentrations levels is in mg/l. People can relate to ppm more than they can to mg/l on this rig so i was wondering if there is a conversion factor.

Is it one to one? i.e. 1mg/l h2s corresponds to 1ppm h2s

regards,

JP

Dear jp.101;

No!, it’s not exactly one by one!
You need the density of the medium (air: ~1.20 kg/m³), because ppm is like % only given for the identical units: ppm(v/v), or ppm(wt/wt), etc., like %(v/v) or %(wt/wt).

For ppm you may read the 3. Paragraph on:   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parts_per_million

Good Luck!

For water solution it is a quite good approximation
