Our ppm to ppb converter uses the standard conversion factor (1 ppm = 1000 ppb) with adjustable precision. Perfect for chemical analysis, environmental testing, and scientific research.
Supports decimal values (e.g., 0.001, 12.75 ppm)
Precision: Whole Number
Understand how ppm relates to ppb and other common concentration units used in chemistry and environmental science.
These conversions follow standard measurement conventions for chemical concentrations in solutions and gases.
Safe drinking water: Chlorine ≈ 0.2-4 ppm, Fluoride ≈ 0.7-1.2 ppm, Nitrates < 10 ppm
Cleaning solutions: 500-5000 ppm, Cooling water treatment: 10-500 ppm
Air quality: Ozone limit ≈ 0.075 ppm, Water contaminants: Heavy metals < 10 ppb
Saline solution: 9000 ppm NaCl, Blood glucose: ~100 mg/dL (≈5.5 mmol/L)
For aqueous solutions, 1 ppm is approximately 1 mg/L and 1 ppb is approximately 1 μg/L due to water's density.
Discover how our ppm to ppb converter helps in real-world scientific and environmental scenarios.
Convert pollutant concentrations for water, air, and soil quality testing and reporting.
Example: 0.05 ppm = 50 ppb
Convert solution concentrations for laboratory work, titrations, and chemical formulations.
Example: 2.5 ppm = 2500 ppb
Convert chemical dosages and contaminant levels for water treatment processes.
Example: 1.2 ppm = 1200 ppb
Convert additive and contaminant levels in food products for safety compliance.
Example: 0.1 ppm = 100 ppb
