Liquor Ratio Calculator

Bath water volume for a dye lot from fabric weight and machine liquor ratio.

Water volume

2,400L

Water volume

2.4m3

The formula

Water (L) = fabric (kg) x liquor ratio. A 1:8 ratio needs 8 liters per kg.

Worked example

Fabric weight: 300 kg, Liquor ratio (1 :): 8. Result: Water volume = 2,400 L; Water volume = 2.4 m3.

Assumptions

  • Total bath volume; machines with partial fills adjust per program.

In the platform

Intelactory links each dye batch to its recipe, chemical lots and the fabric rolls it produced, so a shade problem traces back in one step.
