Water Hardness Unit Conversion Guide

This document provides information about converting units of water hardness between different measurement systems. It lists the equivalents of units like mmol/L, mval/L, parts per million (PPM), degrees English (oe), degrees French (of), and degrees German (odH). It also defines temporary and permanent water hardness in terms of the minerals calcium and magnesium. Finally, it categorizes the degrees of water hardness from soft to very hard based on measured values.

WATER H2O HARDNESS

TEMPORARY HARDNESS: Ca AND Mg BICARBONATES (precipitate minerals upon heating)

PERMANENT HARDNESS: Ca AND Mg SULFATES OR CHLORIDES (dissolve with sodium)

DEGREE OF HARDNESS EXPRESION.

SOFT: LESS THAN 1,6 mmol/l = 160 PPM = 9 odH

SLIGHTLY HARD: 1,6-3,2 mmol/l = 160-320 PPM = 9-18 odH

HARD: 3,2-4,6 mmol/l = 320-460 PPM = 18-26 odH

VERY HARD: ABOVE 4,6 mmol/l = ABOVE 460 PPM = ABOVE 26 odH
