Dilution Ratio Calculator

How to Use the Dilution Ratio Calculator

Here’s how to use our dilution ration calculator:

  1. Enter the Dilution Ratio:
    • Input the ratio in the format Part1:Part2 (e.g., 1:10).
  2. Specify the Container Size:
    • Enter the total volume of the final solution in milliliters (mL).
  3. Click Calculate:
    • The calculator will display the required volumes of concentrated solution and water.

Example Calculation

Suppose you need to prepare 500 mL of a solution with a dilution ratio of 1:5. Here’s how the calculator works:

  1. Inputs:
    • Dilution Ratio: 1:5
    • Container Size: 500 mL
  2. Calculations:
    • Concentrated Volume = 500 × (1 / (1 + 5)) = 83.33 mL
    • Water Volume = 500 – 83.33 = 416.67 mL
  3. Result:
    • Mix 83.33 mL of concentrated solution with 416.67 mL of water to achieve the desired dilution.
