PPM to PPB Conversion Calculator
How to convert ppm to ppb
ppm and ppb are defined as:
1ppm = 1/106 = 10-6
1ppb = 1/109 = 10-9
So
1ppm = 1000ppb
The number of parts-per billion xppb is equal to the number of parts-per million xppm multiplied by 1000:
xppb = xppm ⋅ 1000
Example: 7ppm is equal to 7000ppb:
xppb = 7ppm ⋅ 1000 = 7000ppb
