Unit Description
Milligram per Milliliter (mg/mL)
Definition
Milligram per milliliter (mg/mL) is a unit of density expressing the mass in milligrams contained in one milliliter of volume. It's commonly used for measuring concentrations of dissolved substances in solutions.
History
The mg/mL unit became crucial with the development of modern pharmacology and analytical chemistry. It provided a convenient way to express drug concentrations, chemical solutions, and biological fluid compositions with appropriate precision for medical and research applications.
Current Use
Mg/mL is extensively used in medicine, pharmacology, and biochemistry for drug concentrations, IV solutions, laboratory reagents, and biological samples. It's standard in pharmaceutical manufacturing, clinical laboratories, and medical dosing calculations.
Pound per Gallon (lb/gal)
Definition
Pound per gallon (lb/gal) is a unit of density expressing the mass in pounds contained in one gallon of volume. It's commonly used for measuring liquid densities in imperial systems, particularly in industrial and commercial applications.
History
The lb/gal unit developed from traditional English measurements and became important in industries dealing with liquids in countries using imperial units. It was particularly useful in petroleum, chemical, and food industries for measuring liquid product densities.
Current Use
Lb/gal is used in the United States for petroleum products, chemicals, food processing, and industrial liquids. It's standard in fuel specifications, chemical processing, brewing, and other industries dealing with liquid products in imperial measurements.
