Definitions for "Milligrams per liter"
(MG/L, mg/L) is a unit for expressing the concentration of chemical constituents in solution. Milligrams per liter represent the mass of solute per unit volume (liter) of solution. Concentration of suspended sediment also is expressed in mg/L, and is based on the mass of dry sediment per liter of water-sediment mixture.
A unit expressing the concentration chemical constituents in solution as mass (milligrams) of solute per unit volume (liter) of water. Concentration of suspended sediment also is expressed in milligrams per liter and is based on the mass (dry weight) of sediment per liter of water-sediment mixture.
A measure of concentration of a dissolved substance. A concentration of 1 mg/l means that one milligram of a substance is dissolved in each liter of water. For practical purposes, this unit of measurement is equivalent to parts per million, or ppm.
