Diluting Your Coolant
One of the easiest ways to save money on your cutting fluids is to make sure that you are running at the correct concentration. Not all operations require a rich coolant; in fact most jobs can be run between 20:1 (5%) and 30:1 (3%). Consult your coolant manufacture’s Technical Service Department for more information on determining the optimal concentration for your operation and then follow the mixing instructions below.
Always premix your coolant BEFORE adding it to the sump. Always pour coolant concentrate into water when mixing. Remember O.I.L. = Oil In Last.
For easy mixing add the indicated amount below to 4 gallons of water, a 5 gallon pail makes a perfect mixing container.
Measurements are given in gallons, cups, and liters.
Rustlick coolant customers can use the Make-Up Coolant Calculator located in the Help section above to automatically calculate exact dilution ratios and mixing instructions.
