(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?
