Nonhazardous mixing ratio
Split a final mixture into concentrate and water parts.
How this works
For concentrate:water = 1:r, concentrate = final volume/(1+r).
Example
Using the example inputs, concentrate required is 200 mL.
- Final mixture volume
- 1000 mL
- Water parts per one concentrate part
- 4 parts
- Concentrate required
- 200 mL
Scope and assumptions
For benign mixtures only. Not medication, hazardous chemicals, disinfectant efficacy, or laboratory safety guidance. Assumes additive volumes.
