Enter the total parts per million (PPM) into the Grains From PPM Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Grains From PPM. 

Grains From PPM Formula

The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Grains From PPM.

G = PPM /17.1

Variables:

  • G is the Grains From PPM (grains/gallon)
  • PPM is the total parts per million (PPM) 

To calculate the grains from PPM, divide the parts per million by 17.1.

How to Calculate Grains From PPM?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Grains From PPM.

  1. First, determine the total parts per million (PPM). 
  2. Next, gather the formula from above = G = PPM /17.1.
  3. Finally, calculate the Grains From PPM.
  4. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

total parts per million (PPM) = 1500

G = PPM /17.1 = ?
