g/L
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.
| 1 g/L (Density) | 1 kg/m³ |
| 1 g/L (Concentration) | 0.1 % |
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.
