0.030 ppm. Just move the decimal 3 places to the left to convert from ppb to ppm.

30ppb x 3.066 = 91.98 then divide by 1000 = .09198 ppm

the low range measures phosphorus and to get phosphate you multiply it by 3.066 and that gives you phosphates in parts per billion then divide by 1000 to get parts per million
