MEASURING CDS for saturation

Hi Michael,

Thanks again for your sharing of your experiments.

I am pretty sure from your experiments, it is pointing to the direction that 1ml of 3000ppm CDS = 3 drops of MMS1, if we want to use the conversion of 1ml CDS = 3 drops MMS1, then the CDS would have to be in the ballpark of 3000ppm.

If the above is true, then people who gets 6000ppm would need to cut the dose half to 0.5ml to match 3 drops MMS1. For those we can get 9000ppm, the dose would then be 0.33ml CDS to match 3 drops of MMS1 dosage.

The only problem is that everyone would invariably get different ppm on the CDS they produce, which would make the dose volume standardization a little difficult.

Again, above are just some assumptions and not verified by Bishop Jim and Rev Jon yet.

Once Bishop Jim and/or Rev Jon get back with us on dosing, we can go from there - us home DIYers can use testing strips, if necessary, to test a few batches - I think once we do several and get our own "style" down (How hot is hot, how cold is cold, etc) - and become consistent, then we'd only have to test an occasional batch. And Bishop Jim has stated that we can cut testing srips in half so each strip makes 2 - that will cut down on the cost (which isn't outrageous, anyway) - considerably.

I made a batch last night, using the Humble vid as my guide, and got the same PPM measurement as Michael - fwiw.

1 oz. = 1/8 cup = 30 ml
2 oz. = 1/4 cup = 59 ml
8 oz. = 1 cup = 137 ml
1 teaspoon = 5 ml
1/4 teaspoon = 1.25 ml

Just small correction to excellent article:

It should be 237 ml, not 137. I know it's typo, but please correct it, it may confuse someone. I find your article very useful and helpful.

well, in countries that use litter, milliliter, grams, Kilograms (like the country i am from) -

1 cup = 250ml = 250 gram (the Weight in grams or kilograms are for water only).
4 cups = 1 litter (1000ml) = 1 kilogram (1000 gram) of water.
1 tea spoon = 5ml = 5 grams of water.
1 Table spoon = 15ml = 15 gram of water.

Hi Nir,

What you have written here is not accurate. 1 cup, which is 8 ounces = 236.5882368 ml. I got this number off the website link that you provided. Please check it for yourself.

Take care,
Scott

I do not know what they write on that website about cups, I gave only the chart conversion table - Ounces to Milliliter.
When we say a cup of water it is always 250ml this is how things work here and in every country i have been that use Milliliters.

If you will buy here a measuring Cups for 1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 cups it will ALWAYS be -
1 cup = 250ml
1/2 cup = 125ml
1/3 cup = 85ml
1/4 cup = 62ml

4 cups =1000ml=1 liter

This is how we use it in real life and i should know because i have been using it in the kitchen all my life.

I guess you are talking about this chart - www.asknumbers.com/CupToMilliliter.aspx
but this is - Cups (US) to Milliliters Chart

Why would we use in Europe or any other country that uses milliliters US cups??
We use European Cups which are 250ml

So if you want to convert from European Cups to oz you should use my numbers.
if you want to convert from US cups to milliliters you should use your numbers.

The easiest way is not to use cups as a measuring method at all.

Hmmm - Nir and Truth, what I have found is that cooking measurements are somewhat approximate, as opposed to scientific measurements, which tend to be exact down to the yumpty-ump places beyond the decimal . That may be where the difference lies. On my measuring cups (in the US) - the L line is a bit higher than the 8 oz/1C line.

(and I won't even get into my thoughts about "what if the cup got out of line in the manufacturing line and the screening of the paint for the measuring lines is a little high or a little low" LOL I finally decided that whatever I did, I just needed to be consistent - use the same measurer -

Now, this is all JMHO, and I'm personally not going to worry too much, when I do a measurement for saturation, whether the 2oz is 2oz or 2.02oz, or 60mL or 63mL - but I am OC enough to use the same measuring cup, and be sure to bring it up to eye level (hmm, is the water at the top of the line for the 2 oz, the bottom of the line for the 2 oz or the middle of the line? - see there goes the OC again!!! )

Pam

with all do respect I DO NOT live in the US I live in ISRAEL we use milliliters. we use 250ml as a cup in the kitchen and in the labs.

I have no idea about OZ, for me it is a complicated way for measuring things, same thing with inches we use centimeter.
So i will not try to teach you about Oz and inches and all of you US people don't try to teach us about liters and centimeters.
OK?
