SALINITY OVERVIEW Salinity is the concentration of dissolved salts in water, usually expressed in parts per thousand (ppt). Objects float higher in salt water than fresh water because salt water is denser (heavier per unit of volume).
What does ppm mean? This is an abbreviation for parts per million and it also can be expressed as milligrams per liter (mg/L). This measurement is the mass of a chemical or contaminate per unit volume of water. Seeing ppm or mg/L on a lab report means the same thing. One ppm is equivalent to the absolute fractional amount multiplied by one million. A better way to think of ppm is to visualize putting four drops of ink in a 55-gallon barrel of water and mixing it thoroughly.
