Description
Multiply reportedValue by it only when reportedAsOxide; return sourceToken unchanged as factorSource.
Nutrient labels can report elements, oxide equivalents or fractions on wet, dry or anhydrous material bases. Stoichiometric conversion requires a verified chemical identity and the correct factor direction. A supplied source label and numerical factor record assumptions rather than proving the underlying chemical definition.
Multiply reportedValue by it only when reportedAsOxide; return sourceToken unchanged as factorSource.
When to use this tool
Use Nutrient Report Oxide Unit Token when checking the stated nutrient, moisture or elemental-equivalent convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter reportedValue, suppliedElementPerOxide, reportedAsOxide, sourceToken. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read elementEquivalent, factorSource. Use the output convention below.
Require positive suppliedElementPerOxide. Multiply reportedValue by it only when reportedAsOxide; return sourceToken unchanged as factorSource.1

}Limitations and assumptions
- The factor and chemical identity are supplied, not verified; signed values remain possible and no oxide composition is inferred.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Check the original label, analytical method and authoritative chemical definition before applying a conversion or comparing nutrient quantities.
