Calculator questions

What does MixByParts do?

Calculate volume ratios and ppm dilutions, scale recipes by weight or from one known ingredient, estimate resin quantity and correct coolant concentration. Product calculators use reviewed manufacturer instructions.

How do I calculate a 2 to 1 or 4 to 1 mixing ratio?

Add the ratio parts, divide the final mixture amount by that total, then multiply by each ingredient’s parts. A 2:1 ratio has 3 total parts: for 300 mL finished mixture, use 200 mL of the first ingredient and 100 mL of the second. A 4:1 ratio has 5 parts: for 500 mL finished mixture, use 400 mL and 100 mL. These are volume examples; use the measurement basis in your product instructions.

What does a 1:10 dilution mean in this calculator?

The ratio fields mean ingredient parts: 1:10 is 1 part of the first ingredient plus 10 parts of the second, or 11 parts in total. For a 550 mL final batch, that is 50 mL plus 500 mL. Match the exact label’s convention; a rate stated per amount of water or per finished mixture is a different input.

Can I mix by weight?

Yes. The advanced mixer and epoxy weight calculator accept a manufacturer-specified weight ratio and a total or known ingredient weight. Density-derived gram outputs in the quick volume calculator are a separate feature; volume and weight ratios are not interchangeable.

Can I start with an amount already measured?

Yes. Use the known-ingredient mixer to start from one component. Product calculators support measured water, product or final mixture where the documented recipe allows it. The fuel/oil tool distinguishes measured petrol from a desired final mixture.

How to calculate a mixing ratio

Add the ratio parts, divide your final mixture amount by that total, then multiply by each ingredient’s parts. The final amount includes every ingredient.

Two ingredients: 4:1 in 500 mL

4 + 1 = 5 parts. Each part is 500 ÷ 5 = 100 mL. Measure 400 mL + 100 mL.

Three ingredients: 4:1:1 in 600 mL

4 + 1 + 1 = 6 parts. Each part is 600 ÷ 6 = 100 mL. Measure 400 mL + 100 mL + 100 mL.

These examples are by volume. Follow your product’s specified ratio and measurement basis. Optional gram targets use the densities you provide; the known-ingredient mixer also supports manufacturer-specified weight ratios and amounts already measured.

For ppm dilution, use the available-chlorine calculator with the source strength and target specified by your product.
