CBD Concentration Formula:
From: | To: |
Definition: This calculator determines the concentration of CBD in oil based on the CBD percentage in starting material, weight of material, and final oil volume.
Purpose: It helps cannabis extractors and manufacturers accurately calculate CBD potency in their oil products.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula converts the CBD percentage to total CBD content, then calculates concentration in the final oil volume.
Details: Accurate CBD concentration is crucial for product labeling, dosing accuracy, and regulatory compliance in cannabis products.
Tips: Enter the CBD percentage (0-100%), starting material weight in grams, and final oil volume in ml. All values must be > 0.
Q1: Why multiply by 1000 in the formula?
A: This converts grams to milligrams (1g = 1000mg) to get the result in standard mg/ml units.
Q2: What's a typical CBD percentage in hemp?
A: Industrial hemp typically contains 10-20% CBD, while high-CBD strains may reach 20-25%.
Q3: Does this account for extraction efficiency?
A: No, this calculates theoretical maximum. Actual concentration may be lower due to extraction losses.
Q4: How do I find the CBD percentage?
A: Use laboratory testing (HPLC) to determine the exact CBD percentage in your starting material.
Q5: Can I use this for other cannabinoids?
A: Yes, the same formula works for THC, CBG, or any other cannabinoid by using their respective percentages.
