About Converting Drams per Liter to Centigrams per Teaspoon
Dram per Liter and Centigram 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
centigrams per teaspoon = drams per liter × 0.873328604396
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 dram per liter equals 1.77184519531 base units, and 1 centigram per teaspoon equals 2.02884136211 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct dram per liter-to-centigram per teaspoon factor of 0.873328604396.
Simple example
1 dr/L × 0.8733286044 = 0.8733286044 cg/tsp
1 dram per liter = 0.8733286044 centigrams per teaspoon.
Real-world example
1,000 dr/L × 0.8733286044 = 873.3286044 cg/tsp
1,000 drams per liter = 873.3286044 centigrams per teaspoon.

Frequently asked questions
How many centigrams per teaspoon are in 1 dram per liter?
1 dram per liter equals 0.8733286044 centigrams per teaspoon, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert dram per liter to centigram per teaspoon?
Multiply the dram per liter value by 0.8733286044. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert centigram per teaspoon back to dram per liter?
Use the reverse factor: 1 centigram per teaspoon equals 1.145044368 drams per liter. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a dram per liter?
Dram per Liter (dr/L) is a unit of density.
What is a centigram per teaspoon?
Centigram per Teaspoon (cg/tsp) is a unit of density.
Is the dram per liter to centigram per teaspoon conversion exact?
Yes. Both dram per liter and centigram per teaspoon are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.8733286044 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.
