Calculation Formula

The amount of Solution 1 (S1) should be mixed with the amount of Solution 2 (S2) to obtain the desired strength (D) using the following formula:

S1 / S2 = (D - Strength2) / (Strength1 - D)

Where:
S1 = Amount of Solution 1
S2 = Amount of Solution 2
D = Desired Strength

Result:

S1: - / S2: -

How to Use the Alligation Calculator

  1. Enter the strength of the first solution in percentage.
  2. Enter the strength of the second solution in percentage.
  3. Enter the desired strength of the mixture in percentage.
  4. Click the "Calculate" button to get the proportions of the two solutions required.

Working Principle

The Alligation Calculator uses the principle of alligation, which is a simplified method of calculating the proportions in which two or more ingredients of different strengths must be mixed to produce a mixture of a desired strength.

The formula used is:

S1 / S2 = (D - Strength2) / (Strength1 - D)

Where:

  • S1 = Amount of Solution 1
  • S2 = Amount of Solution 2
  • D = Desired Strength
