Question KH conversion

How is mg/L (ppm) converted to dkh??? My test kits measure in ppm, but most ph/KH charts use dkh. Thanks for any help..

17.68 is your answer.

If you are converting degrees of KH and GH to ppm's, multiply the degrees by 17.68. The other way around, converting from ppm's to degrees KH and GH, youd divide by 17.68.
