What's the relationship between parts per hundreds and parts per million?
Posted February 1, 2024

Answer

Parts per hundred (pph), parts per million (ppm) are ways to express concentrations in which each unit represents a fraction of a larger quantity compared to a base unit within a larger mixture or solution. Parts per hundred signifies a ratio in which the concentration is described as a fraction of 1/100, or 1 part in 100 parts, or 1% of 100. Parts per million signifies a ratio in which the concentration is described as a fraction of 1/1,000,000, or 1 part in 1,000,000 parts, or 0.0001 % of 1,000,000.
