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)

How do you convert tons to gallons of caustic soda?

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.
