MIXKIND / 03

A:B mix ratio

Split a known total or a known amount of part A using the exact A:B ratio and mass or volume basis specified by your product.

MIXKIND / WORKSPACE

Your project, in numbers

Copy the product’s A:B ratio and its stated basis. A mass ratio cannot be used as a volume ratio without the relevant component densities.

Use the manufacturer’s instructions for the exact product. This calculator does not recommend a formulation, cure schedule, pouring depth or chemical handling procedure.

MIXKIND / THE METHOD

How to use this tool

Known total T: A = T × a ÷ (a + b), B = T × b ÷ (a + b). Known A: B = A × b ÷ a, total = A + B.

Worked example
A hypothetical 2:1 ratio by mass and a 300 g total gives A = 200 g and B = 100 g. A 2:1 volume ratio with a 300 mL total gives 200 mL and 100 mL; it does not imply those gram amounts.

01

Step 1

Select mass or volume exactly as specified on the product instructions.

02

Step 2

Enter the A and B ratio parts. Choose a known combined total or a known amount of A.

03

Step 3

Read the two components in the selected unit. Use the specified basis when measuring.

MIXKIND / FIELD NOTES

A few things to check first

Read the calculation method ↗
Can I switch a mass ratio to a volume ratio?

Changing the basis clears the ratio and amount fields. It does not convert them. Re-enter the ratio supplied for the selected basis.

Does the calculator choose a ratio for me?

No. Ratio fields start blank. Example values are labelled arithmetic examples and must not be used as product instructions.
