How the formula works
Both hectogram per liter and nanogram per liter measure the same physical quantity (mass per unit volume), so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in hectogram per liter by 1e11 to get nanogram per liter. To reverse the conversion, multiply a nanogram per liter value by 1e-11 to get back to hectogram per liter.
Frequently asked questions
What is Hectogram per Liter (hg/L)?
