How It Works
This generator works in 4 steps.
List the ratios
Type each ratio and choose the convention.
List the container sizes
Type bottles, buckets, and tanks, such as 500 mL, 5 L, and 20 L.
Choose units and columns
Select metric, US, or both, and add a concentration column if the stock strength is known.
Export the chart
Download PDF, PNG, or CSV, or print directly.
The Formula
The formula fills each cell with the container volume divided by the ratio's total parts.
V_conc = V_container / (X + 1)V_water = V_container − V_concC = C_stock / (X + 1)- X:
- Water parts per concentrate part
- V_container:
- Container size of the column
- C_stock:
- Stock strength
A chart with 1:9 across 500 mL, 5 L, and 20 L containers shows 50 mL, 500 mL, and 2,000 mL of concentrate.
Conversion Table
The conversion table is a sample chart with 7 ratios and concentrate volumes for 500 mL, 5 L, and 20 L containers.
| Ratio | Concentrate share | 500 mL bottle | 5 L jug | 20 L drum |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1:1 | 50% | 250 mL | 2,500 mL | 10,000 mL |
| 1:2 | 33.3% | 166.7 mL | 1,667 mL | 6,667 mL |
| 1:4 | 20% | 100 mL | 1,000 mL | 4,000 mL |
| 1:9 | 10% | 50 mL | 500 mL | 2,000 mL |
| 1:19 | 5% | 25 mL | 250 mL | 1,000 mL |
| 1:49 | 2% | 10 mL | 100 mL | 400 mL |
| 1:99 | 1% | 5 mL | 50 mL | 200 mL |
What Is the Dilution Chart Generator?
The Dilution Chart Generator is a tool that builds a printable table of ratios, concentrate volumes, water volumes, and resulting concentrations for a set of container sizes. Users pick the ratios and containers, and the generator fills every cell.
Wall charts near mixing stations cut calculation errors on the job. The generator outputs a chart in metric, US, or both unit systems, with an optional concentration column when the stock strength is known. Charts export as PDF, PNG, or CSV.
Common Uses
There are 5 main uses of this generator.
Mixing station charts
Facilities post charts beside chemical dispensers.
Training handouts
Trainers print charts for new staff.
SOP appendices
QA teams attach charts to SOPs.
Product sheets
Makers add dilution charts to product literature.
Multilingual sites
Sites print charts in units each team uses.
