Temperature in degrees Celsius (°C) may be converted to degrees Fahrenheit (°F) as follows:
°F=(1.8×°C)+32
Specific conductance is given in microsiemens per centimeter at 25 degrees Celsius (µS/cm at 25 °C).
Concentrations of chemical constituents in water generally are given in milligrams per liter (mg/L), which is approximately equal to parts per million.
Turbidity is given in Formazin Nephelometric Units, or FNUs.
