Bentonite Dosage & Concentration Converter

Convert between g/350 mL, g/L, kg/m³, kg/1000 L and lb/bbl.

Laboratory test concentration — not a recommended field dosage.

Convert common bentonite concentration units

The converter supports g/350 mL, g/L, kg/m³, kg/1000 L and lb/bbl.

1 g/L = 1 kg/m³ = 1 kg/1000 L

1 kg/m³ ≈ 0.3505 lb/bbl
1 lb/bbl ≈ 2.853 kg/m³

350 mL laboratory conversion

22.5 g in 350 mL equals approximately 64.29 g/L, 64.29 kg/m³ and 22.53 lb/bbl.

Laboratory test concentration — not a recommended field dosage.

Field-unit example

15 lb/bbl corresponds to approximately 42.8 kg/m³ or 42.8 kg/1000 L. This is a unit conversion only and does not determine whether the treatment is technically appropriate.

Concentration is not performance

Two bentonites used at the same concentration can produce very different rheology, filtration and suspension stability. The converter therefore makes no product-quality or treatment recommendation.
