SimplyBea Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I am pretty sure I have seen a reference to it...... but can't find it now and have been looking for days........ somewhere on some soapmaking page.... there was a link to a conversion spreadsheet/calculator which someone had put together to convert liquid measures of oils to weights.....Please tell me I am not imagining this???? :confused: I just want to have a rough estimate as my last attempt at approximating liquid (ml) to weight (gm) didn't quite make the mark!!!

CareBear Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 1 ml = 1 gram OF WATER.You need to know the density (specific gravity) in order to do the conversion exactly right. you take the density * mls = gramsor to go the other way, grams/density = mls(I didn't get tha backward did I?)http://www.diamondpolymers.com/techcenter/...onversions.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimplyBea Posted May 13, 2009 Author Share Posted May 13, 2009 Hi Care BearThanks for the explanation - it might help..... the link I am thinking of is a spreadsheet from a soapmaker who had worked out the weight by volume of oils used in soapmaking because each oil would have a different density.I ran into trouble with my first batch because I was so confident I would get the 100gm from my 100ml of castor oil and it only rendered 94gm!!!Going to try making my 2nd batch today and playing it safer with the weights and available oils I have now......thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
