Here's the math, let me know if I made an error.
There are 4.92892ml/teaspoon, but the numbers above were calculated using 5ml/teaspoon
Bottom line, 1 teaspoon (540mg) of powder is equal to 5.625ml of liquid and 1/2 teaspoon powder (270mg) is equal to 2.8125ml liquid.
And if that doesn't convince people, here is another way I did it:

Dosage Level Mixing Directions
0.024% Dissolve 8 ounces of AMPROL 128 20% Soluble Powder in about five gallons of water in a 50-gallon medication barrel. Stir, then add water to the 50 gallon mark. Stir thoroughly.
0.012% Follow same directions as above but use 4 ounces of AMPROL 128 20% Soluble Powder.
0.006% Follow same directions as above but use 2 ounces of AMPROL 128 20% Soluble Powder.
Facts
My twisted math for the .024% level
If 8 ounces (28.35g x 8 = 226.8 grams) are needed for 50 gallons, then 1/50 of that is needed for 1 gallon, right? So that would be 226.8 grams divided by 50 = 4.536 grams per gallon. (doing this as I type, so correct me if I'm wrong, please!)
So how much does a teaspoon of Corid or Amprol powder weigh? Anyone know? Well, time to break out my gram scale and do some weighing... also have a call into the mfg of Corid and I'm expecting a call back from them.
Just got a call back from them and it is 4.536 grams per gallon. He also said that it's a very safe product and the risk of overdosing is very slim.

- There are 200mg of amprolium in every 1 gram of powder.
- 1 ounce = 3.5 tablespoons = 28.35 grams
- 200mg x 28.35 = 5670mg in 3.5 tablespoons of powder.
- There are 10.5 teaspoons in 3.5 tablespoons
- There are 21 1/2 teaspoons in 10.5 teaspoons
- 5670mg divided by 21 1/2 teaspoons = ~270mg per 1/2 teaspoon
- There are two 1/4 teaspoons per 1/2 teaspoon
- 270 mg divided by 2 = 135mg per 1/4 teaspoon
Amount of Amprolium (Corid or Amprol) powder per 1/4 teaspoon
- One 1/4 teaspoon = 135 mg
- 1/2 teaspoon = 270 mg
- 3/4 teaspoon =405 mg
- 1 teaspoon = 540 mg
- 1 & 1/4 teaspoons = 675 mg
- 1 & 1/2 teaspoons = 810 mg
- 1 & 3/4 teaspoons = 945 mg
- 2 teaspoons= 1080 mg
Amount of Amprolium (Corid or Amprol) liquid per 1/4 teaspoon
- One 1/4 teaspoon = 120 mg
- 1/2 teaspoon = 240 mg
- 3/4 teaspoons = 360 mg
- 1 teaspoon = 480 mg
- 1 & 1/4 teaspoons = 600 mg
- 1 & 1/2 teaspoons = 720 mg
- 1 & 3/4 teaspoons = 840
- 2 teaspoons = 960 mg
There are 4.92892ml/teaspoon, but the numbers above were calculated using 5ml/teaspoon
Here is what's in 1-10ml of the liquid- 1ml = 96mg
- 2ml = 192mg
- 3ml = 288mg
- 4ml = 384mg
- 5ml = 480mg
- 6ml = 576mg
- 7ml = 672mg
- 8ml = 768mg
- 9ml = 864mg
- 10ml = 960mg
Bottom line, 1 teaspoon (540mg) of powder is equal to 5.625ml of liquid and 1/2 teaspoon powder (270mg) is equal to 2.8125ml liquid.
