20,000 grain approximate per cu. ft.

NOTE: To convert parts per million (ppm) or milligrams per
liter (mgl) to grains divide by 17.1.
EXAMPLE: Water Hardness of 250 ppm
(250 ppm ÷ 17.1 ppm/gr) = 14.6 gr.
HANDY CONVERSION FACTORS
GPG (grains per gallon) = PPM ÷ 17.1
PPM (part per million) = MG/L (milligrams/liter)
PSI = Rise in Feet X .434
i.e.: 5 story building = 50’ x .434
* gallons without salt in tank (brine only)
= 22 PSI loss on 5th Floor
Square Foot of Bed Area = D2 x .785
1 Saturated brine is when salt dissolves
in water to ± 26% by weight.
2 One gallon of 26% brine has 2.6 pounds
of salt @80° F.
3 One gallon of 26% brine solution weighs
10 pounds.
4 One cubic foot of 26% brine has 19.5
pounds of salt.
5 One cubic foot of 26% brine solution
weighs 75 pounds.
6 Specific gravity of 26% brine at 60°F is 1.2.
7 #2 Coarse rock salt is ± 46% and voids are
54% of space in a salt tank.
