The concentration of solids in formation water (brines) are reported in several different ways ^[1].

C_{ppm} = \frac{gram solid}{10^6 gram water}

C_{mg/l} = \frac{milligram solid}{litre water}

C_{mg/l} = C_{ppm} SG_w

C_{mg/l}

= water salinity / solids concentration, mg/l

C_{ppm}

= water salinity / solids concentration, ppm

SG_w

= water specific gravity, dimensionless
