About Milligrams per litre
The milligram per litre (mg/L) equals 10⁻³ kg/m³ and is the dominant unit in water chemistry and environmental analysis. Numerically equivalent to ppm (mass) for dilute aqueous solutions; WHO drinking-water guideline for nitrate is 50 mg/L, for fluoride 1.5 mg/L. Biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and total suspended solids (TSS) are all reported in mg/L. 1 mg/L = 10⁻³ kg/m³ = 1 g/m³.
About Ounces per UK gallon

Used historically in British brewing, food manufacturing, and naval fuel specifications before metric adoption. Legacy recipes and Admiralty tables still express density in oz/gal UK. 1 oz/gal (UK) ≈6.236 kg/m³ = (1/16) lb/gal (UK).
