About Converting Grains per Imperial gallon to Carats per Liter
Grain per Imperial gallon and Carat per Liter 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
carats per liter = grains per imperial gallon × 0.0712688376165
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 grain per imperial gallon equals 0.0142537675233 base units, and 1 carat per liter equals 0.2 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct grain per imperial gallon-to-carat per liter factor of 0.0712688376165.
Simple example
1 gr/imp gal × 0.07126883762 = 0.0712688376 ct/L
1 grain per imperial gallon = 0.0712688376 carats per liter.
Real-world example
1,000 gr/imp gal × 0.07126883762 = 71.26883762 ct/L
1,000 grains per imperial gallon = 71.26883762 carats per liter.

How do I convert carat per liter back to grain per imperial gallon?
Use the reverse factor: 1 carat per liter equals 14.031378 grains per imperial gallon. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a grain per imperial gallon?
Grain per Imperial gallon (gr/imp gal) is a unit of density.
What is a carat per liter?
Carat per Liter (ct/L) is a unit of density.
Is the grain per imperial gallon to carat per liter conversion exact?
Yes. Both grain per imperial gallon and carat per liter are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.07126883762 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.
