Dose of the liquid is easy. To do this, remember two numbers: 5 and 15. About as many cubic milliliters contain tea and a tablespoon. What about if you want to measure, for example, 2 ml? You can use the following method. Fill the spoon with liquid, dripping it from a pipette, or just with a different spoon, and assuming a drop of, say, they got 200. Therefore, 1 ml of this liquid is 200 / 5 = 40 drops. So, 2 mo - is 80 drops.
Typically, 1 ml of an aqueous solution or infusion contains 20 drops, and alcohol - 50 drops, but some substances have a property to change the rheological characteristics of the solvent, so it is best to use the above method.
The dosing and paste-like substances in the home is very convenient for household metering lever. With such a dispenser can weigh from 5 to 100 grams of any substance, including liquid.
If you do not spout, you can use simple "weights" for the manufacture of which is necessary to have a ruler, pencil, a sheet of construction paper and a piece of clay or bread crumbs. Fold the paper cone and using modeling clay or crumb attach it to one end of the series - it will "cup" weights. Now, beneath the line in the middle of a pencil and balance it with the same crumb. At the free end of the line, place "weights" - the copper coins of 1, 2, 3 and 5 cents, which weigh as much grams as it is written on them - and can weigh.
What about if you want to weigh a few tenths of a gram of paste material, say, mummy or propolis? For example, a single share is 0.2, the mummy
Here you need to do the following. Usually, you know how much weight purchased a portion of, if not, you must first weigh it as described above. Let's say you bought 5 grams of mummies. Roll the entire portion of the fingers flat sausage thickness, measure it with a ruler and divide into 5 pieces. Each piece will weigh 1 gram.
If you want to weigh a few tenths of a gram of powdered substance - it can be done in two ways. If the powder is soluble in water or alcohol, to weigh, say, 5 grams of powder and dissolve it, say, 50 cc. Now, each milliliter of the liquid will contain 5 / 50 = 0.1 g desired substance, and you have only to measure out the right amount of milliliters of liquid.
If the powder is not soluble either in water or in alcohol, can properly distribute the same programs in his neutral piece of paste-like substances (such as bread crumbs or a piece of dough), and then roll the sausage and share it as described above.
