About Converting Centigrams per Gallon to Grains per Teaspoon
Centigram per Gallon and Grain per Teaspoon both measure density — mass per unit volume — a property used to identify materials, check manufacturing quality, and predict whether something floats or sinks. As a fixed reference point, water has a density of exactly 1000 kg/m³ (1 g/cm³, 1 g/mL) at its temperature of maximum density, which is why many density figures in science and engineering are quoted relative to water. Both are mass per volume density units.
Formula
grains per teaspoon = centigrams per gallon × 0.000200942166054
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 centigram per gallon equals 0.00264172052358 base units, and 1 grain per teaspoon equals 13.1466708828 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct centigram per gallon-to-grain per teaspoon factor of 0.000200942166054.
Simple example
1 cg/gal × 0.0002009421661 = 0.0002009422 gr/tsp
1 centigram per gallon = 0.0002009422 grains per teaspoon.
Real-world example
1,000 cg/gal × 0.0002009421661 = 0.2009421661 gr/tsp
1,000 centigrams per gallon = 0.2009421661 grains per teaspoon.

What is a centigram per gallon?
Centigram per Gallon (cg/gal) is a unit of density.
What is a grain per teaspoon?
Grain per Teaspoon (gr/tsp) is a unit of density.
Is the centigram per gallon to grain per teaspoon conversion exact?
Yes. Both centigram per gallon and grain per teaspoon are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.0002009421661 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
What's the difference between density and mass concentration?
Density is the mass of a pure substance or material per unit volume. Mass concentration is the mass of one component — like a dissolved solute — within a mixture's total volume. The two use the same kind of units but describe different physical situations.
