Unit conversions

Units!

In the fragrance and perfume industry, several units are used, including grams, milliliters, g/mL, ppm, ppb, percent, fl.oz., and lbs. Understanding how to convert these units is crucial to the production and quality control of fine fragrances. This article will explore some of the commonly used units in the fine fragrance industry and provide a calculator to make the conversion process easier.

1. Gram to Milliliter Conversion using Specific Gravity:

One of the most common conversions in the fine fragrance industry is converting grams to milliliters. This conversion is typically done using density, which is the measure of the mass of a substance per unit volume. To convert grams to milliliters, you need to know the density of the substance. For example, the density of water is 1 g/mL. Therefore, 1 gram of water is equal to 1 milliliter of water.

Enter the specific gravity in g/mL:  

 

The result is: mL

2. Percent to ppm Conversion:
ppm (parts per million) is a unit of concentration that is commonly used in the fragrance industry to express the concentration of a particular substance in a mixture. (Furocoumarines, Impurities and so on) To convert percent to ppm, you need to multiply the percent value by 10,000.

4. ml to fl.oz.

In the fine fragrance industry, for artwork on outbox we print the perfume’s volume with mL and fl.oz.. When you want to label with estimated sign “ e ” (U+212E), you can use fl.oz(UK). If not, you can use fl.oz.(US).
