Metering Tip Calculator
The Metering Tip Calculator will determine the dilution ratio for each color of metering tip based on the actual water pressure supplied to the specific unit being installed. For additional information about this tool check out the corresponding knowledge center document.

The dilution ratios in these charts are approximate values based on water thin chemicals with a viscosity of 1CPS.
Due to chemical viscosity, actual ratios may vary. Water pressure fluctuations will cause variations in the final dilution ratio.
