Can someone please explain the conversion between meq/l and dKH. Since my test is for KH I get my results in dKH but I am not sure how that relates to meq/l

thanks

I believe you multiply meq/l by 2.8 to get DKH. or devide DKH by 2.8 to get meq/l.

There are many more details on alkalinity, including conversion issues, here:

I am not sure what I am missing but I can't find what "meq" is. I can't even find it anywhere in my quant. book.
