A little imprecision in the nomenclature, but it all should mean the same thing. 1 part in 10E12 is the same as saying 1 part per 10E12. It is the fraction: 1/[10E12], or 1.0 x 10E-12 ... > > <snip> > 2 parts in 10E-12 > <snip> That would be 2 parts per 10E-12, which would be 2/[10E-12], a very big number! I am sure that the author of that snippet actually meant 2 parts per 10E12, or 2 x 10E-12.
