What is Specific Gravity to Salinity Conversion about?
This document provides tables and graphs to convert between specific gravity and salinity for ballast water management purposes. Both the U.S. and Canada require ballast water to have a minimum salinity of 30 parts per thousand (ppt) to reduce the risk of aquatic invasive species introductions. However, ships typically measure specific gravity, not salinity, of ballast water. The tables and graphs are based on a precise equation relating density, salinity, temperature, and pressure for seawater. They allow
