English

Subject field(s)

Domaine(s)
  • Unités de mesure et métrologie
  • Chimie analytique
  • Études et analyses environnementales
CONT

Salinité de 9 X 10-2.

OBS

En français il convient d'employer une puissance de 10. Par exemple, on écrira «neuf parties pour cent» comme suit : 9 p.p. 10², ou 9 X 10-2, ou encore 9 p/10². On aura compris que, dans l'expression «partie par 10 à la puissance deux» le mot «partie» ne fait que prendre la place du chiffre exprimant le nombre de particules en cause.

OBS

Voir aussi «ppb» («part per billion»), «ppm» («part per million»), «ppt» («part per thousand»).
