How to convert PPM to PPB?

1ppm = 1/10⁶ = 10^-6

1ppb = 1/10⁹ = 10^-9

Therefore;

1 parts- per million = 1000 parts-per billion

X (PPB) = X (PPM) x 1000

This means that the number of parts-per billion is calculated by multiplying the number of parts-per million by 1000.

How many PPB in a PPM?

The conversion factor of parts-per-million to parts-per-billion is 1000.

1 PPM = 1000 PPB

Therefore, there are 1000 parts-per-billion in one parts-per-million.

If you want to determine the number of PPB in one parts-per-million, simply multiply the number in parts-per-million by the conversion factor.

For example; How many PPB in 2.5 PPM?

Solution; multiply this value (2.5) by the conversion factor (1000)

= 2.5 x 1000

= 2500 parts-per billion in 2.5 parts-per million.
