Title: Measure volume for mixing chemicals for pressroom operations.
Course: Graphic Imaging Technology I (11154-I) > Section: Using Measurement

Measuring the volume of chemicals for mixing should include

- use of graduates
- correct reading of gallons, pints, ounces, liters, milliliters
- safety when mixing chemicals
- use of safety goggles/glasses
- use of apron and gloves
- 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?
