Description
Convert supplied mass/density and explicit volume bases without recommending essential-oil use.
Botanical laboratory records distinguish wet mass, dry matter, carriers, extract mass, and assay response. A fraction or reference comparison depends on the chosen material basis and supplied analytical method. Voucher and monograph metadata help identify records but do not themselves authenticate a specimen or establish product quality.
Convert supplied mass/density and explicit volume bases without recommending essential-oil use.
When to use this tool
Use Essential Oil Reference Volume Factor when you need this mass-basis, assay-response, extraction, or source-record calculation for supplied laboratory data.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter mass, suppliedDensity, sourceVolumeScale, referenceVolume. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read volume, referenceRatio. Use the output convention below.
For nonnegative mass and positive suppliedDensity, sourceVolumeScale, and referenceVolume return volume=mass/suppliedDensity*sourceVolumeScale and referenceRatio=volume/referenceVolume.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| mass | Mass in a consistent unit for the stated model. | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| suppliedDensity | Supplied Density | Required. Finite number; strictly above 0. |
| sourceVolumeScale | Source Volume Scale | Required. Finite number; strictly above 0. |
| referenceVolume | Reference Volume | Required. Finite number; strictly above 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| volume | Volume in a unit compatible with the other physical inputs. | Required. Finite number. |
| referenceRatio | Reference Ratio | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Density must use the mass unit per source-volume unit, and sourceVolumeScale converts that source volume to the reference-volume unit. Temperature, composition, and oil identity are not verified.
- 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. Signed zero is exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use the appropriate authenticated reference material, analytical protocol, and source records for a full laboratory assessment. Verify moisture basis, response factors, and extract/carrier definitions before comparing results.
