Currently concentration is defined as a percentage reading of a substance
(which does make me wonder if it is meant to be percentage of the volume or
percentage of the mass?)  Either way, if can't convert to a density measurement
as it's a unit free ratio (I think).

It is a bit odd and will get us scripted reports so maybe best to
just go upper case and not worry about it.
