Help me with the ONR Math

Someone please help me with the math of mixing up ONR as a QD (public skool educataion). If I remember right as I type it's 6 ounces to a gallon. I have a 32 oz bottle I want to mix it up in. How many capfulls or oz should I mix in?
 
If the ratio is 6oz to 1 gallon that would be 1.5oz in the 32oz container.



Ofcoure it wouldn't hurt to put in 2oz.
 
No the others are the same



1 oz / 2 gal water for wash

2 oz / 1 gal water for clay lube

8 oz / 1 gal water for QD

1 gallon = 128 oz



So...



6 oz ONR to 128 oz water....

Is it 6 oz ONR + 122 oz water = 128 oz/1 gallon total QD mix or

is it 6 oz ONR + 128 oz water = 134oz/more than 1 gallon QD mix?



The way I'm doing it is the former; you add enough water to the ONR to bring the total up to the "1 gallon" mark on the container.



Sorry if I'm being a pedantic jerk here :o
 
It is 6 oz of ONR added to 1 gal of water. So it would be 128 oz of water plus 6 (or 8 depending on what dilution you would like to use) of ONR making the total liquid amount in the bottle 128+6=134 oz of QD.

Huh :think:



But that'd take my mixes up over the "full" line on my 32 oz containers. They have mix-ratio scales on them and I've been going by those.



Noting that I can't imagine this being a big deal when mixing up a gallon or more of something in a bucket...
 
Thank God you're here Accumulator. I was worried that hair was never going to get split.









:2thumbs: j/k; just busting your chops man.

And here I thought I'd asked a simple question like 'how many super polymers can dance on the head of a pin?' ;)

None, 'cause super polymers don't dance, they encapsulate! :D



My onr bottle says to "add one ounce to two gallons of water....etc"

Yes it will take it over the line. Just mix a little less than needed. The dilution ratios on the side of the bottle are for common dilutions such as 4:1, 10:1 and are placed in the correct locations to make 32 (or however large the bottle is) of a mix.



So lets say you want to mix a 32 oz bottle of ONR QD using the new dilutions ratios which is 8 oz ONR / 128 oz water.



Add 1.88 oz (56 mL) of ONR into the bottle and fill the rest of the bottle to the 32 oz mark. This will give you the proper ratio of 1:16 and you will have 32 oz of water.





Calculations:



X=Oz Water

Y= Oz ONR



(1) x+y=32

(2) y=(1/16)(x)



Take Eq. 2 and put it into Eq 1



(1/16)(x)+x=32

(1.0625)(x)=32



x=30.117 oz water



32-x=y

32-30.117=1.88



y=1.88 which is the amount of ONR needed in Oz.
 
Yeah it is easier, but if you want to only fill 32 oz then you can not use the proportion equation. If you want a certain amount of total liquid you have to set up like I did.
