Conversions:

1 parts-per million (ppm) = 10⁶ parts-per trillion (ppt)

1 parts-per trillion (ppt) = 10^-6 parts-per million (ppm)

Conversion Formula:

xppt = xppm ⋅ 10⁶

Example:

Convert 7 parts-per million (ppm) to parts-per trillion (ppt):

xppt = 7ppm ⋅ 10⁶ = 7000000ppt

Conversion Result:

7 parts-per million (ppm) is equal to 7000000 parts-per trillion (ppt).

1. Introduction

A PPM to PPT Conversion Calculator is a tool used to convert concentration values from parts per million (ppm) to parts per trillion (ppt). This conversion is essential in environmental science, chemistry, and engineering, where extremely low concentrations of substances need precise measurement.

2. Understanding PPM and PPT

Parts Per Million (PPM)

• Definition: PPM represents the number of units of a substance per one million units of the total mixture.

• Formula:

  $$1\text{ppm}=1\text{part per }{10}^6\text{parts}$$

• Example:
  If a water sample has 5 ppm of lead, it means there are 5 milligrams of lead per kilogram of water.

Parts Per Trillion (PPT)

• Definition: PPT represents the number of units of a substance per one trillion units of the total mixture.

• Formula:

  $$1\text{ppt}=1\text{part per }{10}^{12}\text{parts}$$

• Example:
  If air contains 20 ppt of a pollutant, it means there are 20 nanograms of the pollutant per kilogram of air.

3. Conversion Formula

To convert PPM to PPT, we use the relationship:

$$1\text{ppm}=1,000,000\text{ppt}$$

Thus, the formula is:

$$\text{PPT}=\text{PPM}\times {10}^6$$

Example Calculation

If a chemical concentration is 0.05 ppm, the conversion to PPT is:

$$0.05\text{ppm}\times 1,000,000=50,000\text{ppt}$$

4. How to Use a PPM to PPT Calculator

1. Enter PPM Value: Input the concentration in ppm.

2. Click "Convert": The calculator multiplies by 1,000,000.

3. View PPT Result: The converted value in ppt is displayed.

Example Input/Output

Input (PPM)	Output (PPT)
1 ppm	1,000,000 ppt
0.001 ppm	1,000 ppt
2.5 ppm	2,500,000 ppt
