Parts per million in dilute water (≈ mg/L) to Grams per liter
1 ppm (water ≈ mg/L) ≈ 0.001 g/L. Edit either value to convert instantly.
Conversion formula
g/L = ppm (water ≈ mg/L) × (0.001) × (1)1 ppm (water ≈ mg/L) ≈ 0.001 g/L
part per million in dilute water (≈ mg/L) (ppm (water ≈ mg/L))
part per million in dilute water (≈ mg/L) is a unit of solution mass concentration: 1 ppm (water ≈ mg/L) ≈ 0.001 kg/m³. This is only an approximation for dilute water with density about 1 kg/L: 1 ppm ≈ 1 mg/L. For other liquids or concentrations, density is required.

gram per liter (g/L)
gram per liter is a unit of solution mass concentration: 1 g/L = 1 kg/m³.
