How to convert % w/v to milligrams per liter
mg/L = % w/v × 10,000Multiply the value in % w/v by 10,000. To go the other way, multiply by 0.0001 (or divide by 10,000).
A percent weight/volume is larger than a milligram per liter: one percent weight/volume contains 10,000 milligrams per liter.

About the units
Percent weight/volume (% w/v)
Grams of solute per 100 mL of solution; saline is 0.9% w/v (9 g/L).
Milligram per liter (mg/L)
The milligram per liter (mg/L) is a unit of mass concentration in the metric system. One milligram per liter equals 0.001 grams per liter (g/L).
Frequently asked questions
How many milligrams per liter are in one percent weight/volume?
There are 10,000 milligrams per liter in one percent weight/volume, and this value is exact by definition.
How do I convert % w/v to milligrams per liter?
Multiply the number of % w/v by 10,000. For example, 10 % w/v × 10,000 = 100,000 mg/L.
How many % w/v are in one milligram per liter?
One milligram per liter equals 0.0001 % w/v. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 10,000.
What is 10 % w/v in milligrams per liter?
10 % w/v = 100,000 mg/L.
Is this % w/v to mg/L converter accurate?
Yes. Both units are defined exactly in terms of SI units, so the conversion factor is exact; results are shown to 12 significant figures by default and you can change precision in the converter. Calculations run in your browser using the same tested engine that generated this page.
