About Converting Milligrams per Imperial gallon to Milligrams per Gallon
Milligram per Imperial gallon and Milligram per Gallon 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
milligrams per gallon = milligrams per imperial gallon × 0.832674184629
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 milligram per imperial gallon equals 0.000219969248299 base units, and 1 milligram per gallon equals 0.000264172052358 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct milligram per imperial gallon-to-milligram per gallon factor of 0.832674184629.
Simple example
1 mg/imp gal × 0.8326741846 = 0.8326741846 mg/gal
1 milligram per imperial gallon = 0.8326741846 milligrams per gallon.
Real-world example
1,000 mg/imp gal × 0.8326741846 = 832.6741846 mg/gal
1,000 milligrams per imperial gallon = 832.6741846 milligrams per gallon.

Multiply the milligram per imperial gallon value by 0.8326741846. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert milligram per gallon back to milligram per imperial gallon?
Use the reverse factor: 1 milligram per gallon equals 1.200949926 milligrams per imperial gallon. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a milligram per imperial gallon?
Milligram per Imperial gallon (mg/imp gal) is a unit of density.
What is a milligram per gallon?
Milligram per Gallon (mg/gal) is a unit of density.
Is the milligram per imperial gallon to milligram per gallon conversion exact?
Yes. Both milligram per imperial gallon and milligram per gallon are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.8326741846 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.
