How to convert ppm
Use the same basis throughout: mass per mass or volume per volume. Billion means 1000000000. Converting mg/L requires solution density and is a separate tool.
Multiply by the source unit factor to get the base quantity, then divide by the target factor. The other-units table compares the same value without retyping it.
A worked example
0.1 percent ÷ 100 × 1000000 = 1000 ppm.
Before you use the result
Displayed values are rounded; extra digits do not make your measurement more accurate. Use the same basis throughout: mass per mass or volume per volume. Billion means 1000000000. Converting mg/L requires solution density and is a separate tool.
percent (%) to parts per million (ppm): reference values
| percent (%) | parts per million (ppm) |
|---|---|
| 1 | 10000 |
| 10 | 100000 |
| 100 | 1000000 |
Calculated with the same conversion as the tool above.
