11.6.4 Measuring and calculating the detergent concentration
For a few detergents, the concentration must be precisely
set. In this case, the water flow rate and the consumption of
detergent must be measured.
Calculating the predilution of the detergent in %
If the predilution is not indicated as a % value on the
packaging of the detergent used, it can be determined as
follows:
Ratio value
–1:1=50%
– 1:2 = 33.3 %
–1:3=25%
– 1:5 = 16.6 %
– 1:10=9%
Example: Calculation ratio value 1:2.
–A=1
–B=2
