(Optional) Measure volume for mixing chemicals for pressroom operations.

Measuring the volume of chemicals for mixing should include

  • use of graduates
  • correct reading of gallons, pints, ounces, liters, milliliters
  • safety when mixing chemicals
  • label identification
  • use of PPE
  • addition of chemical to water
  • assurance of accurate ratios (e.g., 15:1, 7:1).

Process/Skill Questions:

  • Why is it important to understand conversion formulas when measuring volume?
  • What are the safety considerations and procedures when measuring chemicals?
  • How is a knowledge of ratios important when measuring chemicals?
  • What are the potential consequences of incorrectly measuring liquids in GIT operations?
  • How do differing systems of measurement affect the solution of basic liquid measurement problems?
