About Converting Milligrams per Gallon to Milligrams per Imperial gallon
Milligram per Gallon and Milligram per Imperial 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 imperial gallon = milligrams per gallon × 1.2009499255
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 milligram per gallon equals 0.000264172052358 base units, and 1 milligram per imperial gallon equals 0.000219969248299 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct milligram per gallon-to-milligram per imperial gallon factor of 1.2009499255.
Simple example
1 mg/gal × 1.200949926 = 1.200949926 mg/imp gal
1 milligram per gallon = 1.200949926 milligrams per imperial gallon.
Real-world example
1,000 mg/gal × 1.200949926 = 1,200.949926 mg/imp gal
1,000 milligrams per gallon = 1,200.949926 milligrams per imperial gallon.

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