FAQ
What is the conversion factor from % to ppt?
1 % equals 1e+10 ppt. To convert, multiply the value in percent (10⁻²) by 1e+10.
How do I convert 1 % to ppt?
1 % = 1e+10 ppt. For any value, multiply by 1e+10.
How do I convert ppt back to %?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1e-10. So 1 ppt = 1e-10 %.
When would I need to convert percent (10⁻²) to parts per trillion (10⁻¹²)?
Concentration-ratio conversions between % and ppt are used in trace-analysis, gas-composition work, environmental reporting and process-chemistry datasheets. These conversions are dimensionless: they do NOT cover mg/L, g/L, mol/L, normality, equivalents, mass-percent, volume-percent, ppmw or ppmv — those require solution density and/or molecular weight. Note: ppt here means parts per trillion (10⁻¹²), not parts per thousand.
Is the conversion exact?
Yes. Both % and ppt are defined by exact SI relationships, so the displayed factor is exact (any rounding shown is only for display).
