ounces to ounces, by weight or by volume?

Recommended Posts

howdy ya'll,

great place here with TONS of info. sure this probably a stupid question for some.

 

if you buy product X by the gallon and use an 8oz. per gallon ratio no problem

but if you buy product X in a one pound box of powder, is the 8 oz per gallon ratio, 8 oz. by weight or by volume?

 

clear as mud eh?  

 

TIA,

ScoCar

In this Industry, when dealing with mixes it's generally ounces to gallon ratio's.

p.s. if you take a plastic container, and put it on a scale, you can calibrate that to true zero. The, fill the appropriate number of OZ incrementally, tap the container so the contents are level, and mark the container with a marker to the fill line. Viola, you have a container to measure by weight when you are on the job site.
