| ppm = mg/L | ppm = parts per million |
| 1mg/L = 1,000 microgram/L | mg/L = milligrams per liter |
| 1ppm = 1,000ppb | ppb = parts per billion |
| cc = ml | cc = cubic centimeters |
| 1ml = 1g water | g = gram |
| 1% = 10,000ppm | ml = milliliters |
| 1% = g/100mL | ppt or 0/00 = parts per thousand |
| 1ppt = 1,000ppm | ppb = parts per billion |
| 1% = 10ppt | ug/g = microgram/gram |
| 0.1% = 1g/L | 1ug/g = 1ppm |
| 1000ppb = 1ppm | g/L = gram per liter |

Weight: |
|
Conversions |
Abbreviations |
| 16oz = 1lb | 7000 grains = 1lb |
| 0.454kg = 1lb | kg = kilograms |
| 454g = 1lb | mg = milligrams |

Conductivity/TDS (total dissolved solids): |
Conductivity Units: |
|
uS = microSiemens = mhos/cm = micromhos per centimeter |
|
mS = milliSiemens = mmhos/cm = millimhos per centimeter |
|
(mhos and Siemens are the same) |
TDS Units: |
|
ppm = parts per million |
|
ppt = parts per thousand |
Conductivity/TDS Conversions: |
|
1mS = 1,000uS |
|
1ppt = 1,000ppm |
|
uSiemens x 0.7 = ppm |
Temperature: |
|
(1.8 x °C) + 32 = °F |
|
(°F - 32) x 0.56 = °C |
Soil: |
|
1ppm = 2 lbs/acre = 1.13 Kg/hectare |
Volume: |
|
15ml = 1/2oz |
| 250ml = 8oz |
| 3800ml = 1 gallon |
| 30ml = 1oz |
| 500ml = 1pint |
| 60ml = 2oz |
| 1000ml = 1quart |
| 120ml = 4oz |
| 2000/2500ml = 1/2 gallon |
| 3.78L = 1gal |
| 128oz = 1gal |
| 2pt = 1qt |
| 4qt = 1gal |
| qt = quart |
|
pt = pint |
