How the formula works
Both megagram 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 megagram per liter by 1e15 to get nanogram per liter. To reverse the conversion, multiply a nanogram per liter value by 1e-15 to get back to megagram per liter.
Frequently asked questions
What is Megagram per Liter (Mg/L)?
Megagram per Liter (Mg/L) expresses mass in megagram per unit volume in liter, found by dividing a mass value by a volume value.
What is Nanogram per Liter (ng/L)?
Nanogram per Liter (ng/L) expresses mass in nanogram per unit volume in liter, found by dividing a mass value by a volume value.
How do I convert megagram per liter to nanogram per liter?
Multiply the megagram per liter value by 1e15 to get the equivalent in nanogram per liter. For example, 5 Mg/L × 1e15 = 5e15 ng/L.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units are defined using fixed metric and imperial conversion constants, so the factor 1e15 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert nanogram per liter back to megagram per liter?
Yes. Divide the nanogram per liter value by 1e15, or multiply it by 1e-15, to get megagram per liter.
