Milligram per liter (mg/L): One milligram per liter: exactly 0.001 kg/m³. Used for water quality. In dilute water solutions it is close to 1 ppm.
Percent weight per volume (% w/v): Grams of solute per 100 mL of solution: 1 % w/v is exactly 10 g/L. A saline drip is 0.9 % w/v.

How to convert milligrams per liter to percent weight per volume
To convert milligrams per liter to percent weight per volume, multiply the number of milligrams per liter by 0.0001.
Formula
% w/v = mg/L × 0.0001
Examples
- 5 mg/L = 5 × 0.0001 = 0.0005 % w/v
- 25 mg/L = 25 × 0.0001 = 0.0025 % w/v
- 100 mg/L = 100 × 0.0001 = 0.01 % w/v
