Gallons to PPM Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate PPM from Gallons is:

\[ PPM = \frac{W}{G} \times 119826.427 \]

Where:

\( PPM \) is the Parts Per Million
\( W \) is the Total Weight (lbs)
\( G \) is the Total Gallons (gal)

What is PPM?

PPM (Parts Per Million) is a unit of concentration that describes the amount of a substance in a mixture or solution. It is commonly used to express very dilute concentrations of substances. In this calculation, PPM represents the concentration of a substance in a fluid, based on the weight of the substance and the volume of the fluid in gallons.

Example Calculation

Let's consider an example:

Total Weight (W): 5 lbs
Total Gallons (G): 100 gallons

Using the formula to calculate PPM:

\[ PPM = \frac{5}{100} \times 119826.427 = 5991.32 \, \text{PPM} \]

This means that the concentration of the substance in the fluid is approximately 5991.32 parts per million.
