• 1 quart = 2 pints = .946 liters
• 1 pint = .473 liters
• 1 fluid ounce = 29.6 milliliters of cubic centimeters
• 1 part per million (ppm)
• = 1 milligram/liter
• = 1 milligram/kilogram
• = .0001 per cent
• = .013 ounces in 100 gallons of water

1 percent:

• = 10,000 ppm
• = 10 grams per liter
• = 10 grams per kilogram
• = 1.33 ounces by weight per gallon of water
• = 8.34 pounds/100 gallons of water
• .1 percent = 1000 ppm = 1000 milligrams/liter
• .01 percent = 1000 ppm = 100 milligrams/liter
• .0001 percent = 1 ppm = 1 milligram/liter
