Percentage strength:
100 / Ratio strength
Ratio Strenght:
100 / Percentage strength
PPM ➔ Percentage strength
Move the decimal left 4 places… You can also divide the PPM value by 10,000 (10k) to convert it to a percentage… For example, 61 PPM equals 0.0061%
Percentage strength ➔ PPM
Move the decimal right 4 places…or multiply the percentage value by 10,000. For example, 0.12% is equal to 1,200 PPM.
Specific Gravity (SG)
SG = weight of substance (g) / weight of equal volume of water (g)
.
or SG = g / ml
Dilution & Concentration (Changing Strength or Quantity)
Q1 x C1 = Q2 x C2
.
Q1 = old quantity Q2 = new quantity
C1 = old concentration C2 = new concentration

Determining Fluid Needs
When weight > 20 kg:
1,500 ml+ (20 ml)(weight in kg - 20)
Corrected Calcium for Albumin < 3.5 (not needed with Ionized Ca)
Ca Corrected (mg/dl) = calcium measured + [(4.0 - albumin measured) x (0.8)]
Total Energy Expenditure
TEE = BEE x activity factor x stress factor
