To calculate the Dry Short Tons (DST) from the solution of NaOH50%, the net weight of the solution and percentage of sodium oxide (Na2O) will need to be determined. Below is the calculation:
(1) Pounds (lbs) of 50% solution x Na2O content (%) = Na2O pounds
(2) Divide pounds of Na2O by 76% Na20 basis (.76) = NaOH dry pounds
(3) Divide the dry NaOH pounds by 2,000 = NaOH Dry Short Tons (DST)

Caustic potash is potassium hydroxide (KOH) Caustic soda is sodium hydroxide (NaOH)
BOOM!
NaOH is called caustic soda because of its corrosive action,.
caustic
In a simple form: Convert the tons to pounds then divide by the caustic soda weight per pound, which is 12.7 lb. Example: density is 12.70 lb /gallon, 2 tons is 4,000 lb. 4,000 lb x 1 gallon/12.7 lb = 315 gallons (rounded) Other factors like temperature come into play, but in a nut shell that's how you convert DST (dry short ton) to gallons.

There is no such thing as caustic acid - caustic soda - YES. Caustic potash - YES - but not caustic acid
Yes. caustic soda, scientifically known as sodium hydroxide, is often called lye. However, lye ma also refer to potassium hydroxide (caustic potash).
There is no such thing as caustic acid - caustic soda - YES. Caustic potash - YES - but not caustic acid
Sodium hydroxide is the scientific name for caustic soda.
Caustic soda is sodium hydroxide - NaOH. A formula cannot be "increased".
