IPA Dilution Calculator

[BrandonSmith]

Here's a simple way to calculate your own IPA solution. I just completed my own paint correction and was calculating my own IPA mixture. I didn't see a calculator here on the forum for calculating IPA dilution, so I thought I'd make one and post it up here.

Here's a table you can follow with a calculator (note: when using percentages, enter them as decimals, e.g. 70% = .7)

To make	A	ounces
of a	B%	IPA solution
and you have	C%	IPA
you need to mix	(A*B)/C	ounces of C% IPA
with	A-D	ounces of water

And I also attached a simple excel sheet as well. It looks something like this:

As we do in chemistry, C1*V1 = C2*V2. Where C1 and V1 are the initial volume and concentration, and C2 and V2 are the final volumes and concentrations. Dilute your calculated initial volume to the desired final volume

0.7*X oz = 0.2*12 oz
x = 0.2*12/0.7
x=3.4 oz
