What's PPM in this context? Like, one drop in a bucket?
"Parts-per-million"
Ok but what about in this context?
1 mg of chlorine per 1 litre of water
1 mg or 0.001 ml?
And I know 1 liter of whater is 1kg.
PPM is an American way of saying mg/L because they're all allergic to SI units.
Thanks! I knew what PPM was, but I was having trouble visualizing how much chlorine was that in, say, a liter of water.
And there you go. 1 mg per liter does the trick, and it's standard!
