Diluted
Cost Per Gallon
Divide dilution
into cost per gallon. Example:
(1:128 dilution selling at $13.40 per gallon)
$13.40 ÷ 129 = .1038 -or- 10.4¢ per
diluted gallon
Dilution Ratio
Divide
ounces per gallon into 128.
Example:
(4 ounces per gallon dilution)
128
÷ 4 = 32
Answer: 1:32 ratio
Ounces Per Gallon
Divide
dilution ratio into 128.
Example:
(1:32 dilution)
128
÷ 32 = 4
Answer: 4 ounces per gallon
Temperature Conversions
°C
= 5/9 x (°F - 32)
Example:
70°F
= 5/9 x 70 - 32 = 21°C
°F
= 9/5 x (°C) + 32
Example:
25°C
= 9/5 x 25 + 32 = 77°F
Metric Volume Equivalents
1 fluid ounce = 30
milliliters
8 ounces (1 cup) = 237
milliliters
16 ounces (1 pint) = 473
milliliters
32 ounces (1 quart) = 946
milliliters
64 ounces (½ gallon) = 1892
milliliters -or- 1.9 liters
128 ounces (1 gallon) = 3785
milliliters -or- 3.8 liters
Hard Water Measurments
Hard water contains ions of
magnesium and calcium.
1 grain hard water = 18 ppm hard water
Example:
450
PPM hard water = 25 grain
(450 ÷ 18 = 25)
Active
Parts Per Million
Commonly used for disinfectants.
Step 1: Add together active ingredients on label.
Step 2: Multiply by 10,000.
Step 3: Divide the result of Step 2 by the dilution rate.
Example:
Using
Quat 44-HBV (#2318) (1:64
dilution)
1. 2.25% + 2.25% = 4.5% active
2. 10,000 x 4.5 = 45,000
3. 45,000 ÷ 65 = 692 PPM Active Quat
