Determining Ready-to-Use Costs from Concentrate

Instructions: Divide dilution into cost per gallon.

Examples:

1:64 dilution selling at $12.50 per gallon -

$12.50 ÷ 64 =.195 or 19.5¢ per RTU gallon.

1:10 dilution selling at $7.30 per gallon -

$7.30 ÷ 10 =.73 or 73¢ per RTU gallon.

Figuring ounces per gallon (when given dilution ratio)

Instructions: Divide 128 (ounces) by ratio.

Examples:

Dilution ratio 1:32

1:32 (128 ÷ 32 = 4 oz. gallon.

Sample Dilution Ratio Equivalents

1:1 - 128oz.gal.	1:6- 21oz.gal.	1:11 - 4oz.gal.
1:2 - 64oz.gal.	1:7 - 16oz.gal.	1:12 - 3oz.gal.
1:3 - 43oz.gal.	1:8 - 13oz.gal.	1:13 - 2oz.gal.
1:4 - 32oz.gal.	1:9- 11oz.gal.	1:14 - 1oz.gal.
1:5 - 26oz.gal.	1:10 - 6oz.gal.	1:15 - .5oz.gal.

Temperature Conversions

F° = C°X9÷5+32/C° = F^°32÷9X5

U.S. Volume Equivalents

One Gallon	= 4 quarts, 8 pints, 16 cups, 128 oz.
One Quart	= 2 pints, 4 cups, 32 oz.
One Pint	= 2 cups, 16 oz.
One Cup	= 8 oz.
One Ounce	=2 tablespoons, 6 teaspoons
One Tablespoon	= 3 teaspoons

Metric Volume Equivalents

3 teaspoons	= 1 tablespoon	= 15 ml
8 tablespoons	= ½ cup	= 118 ml
16 tablespoons	= 1 cup	= 237 ml
1 fluid ounce	= 2 tablespoons	= 30 ml
8 fluid ounces	= 1 cup	= 237 ml
16 fluid ounces	= 2 cups or 1 pint	= 473 ml
32 fluid ounces	= 4 cups or 1 quart	= 946 ml
128 fluid ounces	= 1 gallon	= 308 liters

Figuring the Dilution Ratios (when given ounces per gallon)

Instructions: Divide concentrate oz. per gallon into 128. (There are 128 oz. per gallon).

Examples:

3 oz. per gallon dilution

128 ÷ 3 = 42.66 or 1:43. Note: It may be necessary to first convert dilution to oz. for 1 gallon.

10 oz. per 5 gallon

	10 ÷ 5 = 2 or 2 oz. per gallon.
	Now divide oz. per gallon into 128. 128 ÷2 = 64 or a dilution ratio of 1:64.

Parts Per Million (P.P.M.) of Active Disinfectant in Various Use-Dilution Ratios:

Instructions: Multiply percentage of active disinfectant times 10,000 and divide by use-dilution rate:

% active x 10,000

dilution rate

Examples: Given active percentage of 4.5%

At 1:256 (½ oz. per gallon)

(4.5 x 10,000) ÷ 256 = 176 ppm active.

At 1:258 (1 oz. per gallon)

(4.5 x 10,000) ÷ 128 = 352 ppm active.
