Converting from Degree Hardness to Parts per Thousand in Mineralization

What is Degree Hardness (°dH)

Degree hardness (°dH) is a unit of measurement used to quantify the concentration of divalent metallic ions, particularly calcium and magnesium, in water. It indicates the amount of these ions present in the water, influencing its mineralization level.

What is Parts per Thousand (ppt)

Parts per thousand (ppt) is a unit that represents the amount of a substance in a solution relative to the total amount of the solution. In the context of mineralization, ppt is used to measure the concentration of dissolved minerals in water.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from °dH to ppt, you can use the formula:

ppt=°dH×0.01785

Conversely, to convert from ppt to °dH, the formula is:

°dH=ppt×56.02241

Examples

• 14 °dH is equivalent to 0.2499 ppt
• 6 °dH converts to 0.1071 ppt
• 9 °dH is equal to 0.16065 ppt
