Converting from Parts per million (ppm) to Parts per thousand (ppt)

What is Parts per million (ppm)

Parts per million (ppm) is a unit of measurement commonly used to express the concentration of a substance in a solution. It represents one part of the substance for every one million parts of the solution.

What is Parts per thousand (ppt)

Parts per thousand (ppt) is another unit of measurement used to indicate the concentration of a substance in a solution. It signifies one part of the substance for every one thousand parts of the solution.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion between ppm and ppt can be done using the following formulas:

• To convert from ppm to ppt: ppt=ppm×0.001

• To convert from ppt to ppm: ppm=ppt×1000

Examples

1. Convert 14 ppm to ppt:

ppt=14×0.001=0.014 ppt

2. Convert 12 ppt to ppm:

ppm=12×1000=12000 ppm

3. Convert 2 ppm to ppt:

ppt=2×0.001=0.002 ppt

4. Convert 14 ppt to ppm:

ppm=14×1000=14000 ppm

By using these conversion formulas, you can easily switch between ppm and ppt measurements in mineralization units.
