gram per liter

DensityConcentrationexact by definition

The gram per litre is exactly one kilogram per cubic metre, since a litre is exactly a thousandth of a cubic metre and a gram a thousandth of a kilogram. It is the working unit for prepared solutions, brine strength and fermentation sugar content.

As a unit of concentration

The gram per litre is 0.1 percent for a dilute aqueous solution, since one litre of water weighs one kilogram. Brine strength, total dissolved solids in concentrated streams and fermentation sugar are quoted in g/L.
