PPM Converter

It is a easy tool that can be used for conversion from PPM to units consisting of percents or parts according to billion (PPB).

How to calculate PPM

All of the proportion metrics are quite similar: they describe small values of dimensionless quantities, such as the volumetric proportion of NO₂ in the air. For example, PPM method "parts per million". If you find out that the attention of NO₂ is equal to at least one ppm, it way that if you take a 'sample' of air and divide it into one million parts, one among them will include NO₂.

The share metrics are as follows:

Percentage: equal to 1 in step with 100

Permille: equal to 1 in step with 1,000

PPM: same to 1 in line with a million

PPB: equal to one according to a million,000

PPT: identical to 1 per 1,000,000,000,000

PPM conversion: an instance

Let's take the following instance: you have created a solution of salt (NaCl) in water. You used 0.1/2 grams of salt, and the final mass of the solution is same to one kilogram. How many elements in line with million (PPM) of salt are inside the solution?

1. Start with expressing the answer concentration as a decimal. There are 0.Half grams of salt in 1 kilogram (1000 grams). It means that the decimal is equal to

zero.1/2 / 1000 = 0.000005

2. To locate the percentage, multiply this value by way of one hundred:

zero.000005 * 100 % = 0.0005

3. To locate the permille price, multiply the decimal through 1000:

0.000005 * 1,000 ‰ = 0.1/2

four. For the PPM, multiply the decimal via a million:

0.000005 * a million PPM = five PPM

five. Finally, for the PPB, multiply the decimal via 1000000000:

zero.000005 * a million,000 PPB = 5 PPB
