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

How to Use This PPM to PPB Conversion Calculator:

  1. Enter PPM Value:

    • In the “Enter PPM” input box, type the number of parts per million (ppm) that you want to convert to parts per billion (ppb).
  2. Click Convert:

    • Press the “Convert” button. The calculator will multiply the ppm value by 1000 to give you the ppb equivalent.
    • The result will appear in the “PPB Result” box.
  3. Reset if Needed:

    • If you want to clear the input and output fields, click the “Reset” button. This will reset the calculator, allowing you to enter a new ppm value.

Applications:

  1. Environmental Monitoring:

    • Useful for converting pollutant concentrations in the environment, such as in air or water quality assessments.
  2. Laboratory Analysis:

    • Common in chemistry and biology labs to express very low concentrations of substances.
  3. Industrial Processes:

    • Used to ensure that specific substances within products are within the allowable limits in parts per billion.
