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.
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.

How to convert percent weight per volume to milligrams per liter
To convert percent weight per volume to milligrams per liter, multiply the number of percent weight per volume by 10000.
Formula
mg/L = % w/v × 10000
Examples
- 5 % w/v = 5 × 10000 = 50000 mg/L
- 25 % w/v = 25 × 10000 = 250000 mg/L
- 100 % w/v = 100 × 10000 = 1000000 mg/L
