How do you calculate ppm & ppb?
Very low solute concentrations are often expressed using appropriately small units such as parts per million (ppm) or parts per billion (ppb). Like percentage (“part per hundred”) units, ppm and ppb may be defined in terms of masses, volumes, or mixed mass-volume units.
They are abbreviations for the words parts-per-million, parts-per-billion, and parts-per-trillion. These symbols have become commonplace in everyday use, in the media for example, as well as in scientific and technical contexts.
In the case of ppb, the same relationship exists: 1 part material per 1 billion parts of a gas, liquid or solid. An easy way to think of ppm is to visualize putting four drops of ink in a 55-gallon barrel of water and mixing it thoroughly. This procedure would produce an ink concentration of 1 ppm.
Very low solute concentrations are often expressed using appropriately small units such as parts per million (ppm) or parts per billion (ppb). Like percentage (“part per hundred”) units, ppm and ppb may be defined in terms of masses, volumes, or even numbers of atoms, as long as the units are the same (so that units cancel).
PPB stands for parts per billion. One part per billion is one part of solute per one billion parts solvent . PPB is a commonly used unit of concentration for very small values.
What are Parts per Million (PPM) and Parts per Billion (PPB)? Parts per million (PPM) is a unit of measurement commonly used to express the concentration of a solute in a solution. It represents the number of parts of the solute per million parts of the solution.
“Parts-per” notation is used, especially in science and engineering, to denote relative proportions in measured quantities; particularly in high-ratio (low value) proportions at the parts-per-million (ppm), parts-per-billion (ppb), and parts-per-trillion (ppt) level.
