What is Parts Per Thousand?

Parts per thousand (ppt) is a unit of measure used to describe the concentration of a substance in a solution. It represents the number of parts of a substance in a thousand parts of the total solution. It is commonly used in fields such as oceanography and chemistry to express salinity or other substance concentrations.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ mg/L = 35 \times 1.025 \times 1000 = 35875 \]

The concentration is 35875 mg/L.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ mg/L = 10 \times 1.000 \times 1000 = 10000 \]

The concentration is 10000 mg/L.
