Boil Off Rate Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Boil Off Rate (BOR) is:

\[ BOR = \frac{V1 - V2}{T} \]

Where:

\( V1 \) is the volume before boil (mL).
\( V2 \) is the volume after boil (mL).
\( T \) is the time of boil (min).

Example

Let's say the volume before boil (\( V1 \)) is 1000 mL, the volume after boil (\( V2 \)) is 800 mL, and the time of boil (\( T \)) is 30 minutes. Using the formula:

\[ BOR = \frac{1000 - 800}{30} \]

We get:

\[ BOR = \frac{200}{30} \approx 6.67 \text{ mL/min} \]

So, the Boil Off Rate (\( BOR \)) is approximately 6.67 mL/min.

What is Boil Off Rate?

The Boil Off Rate (BOR) is a measure of the volume of liquid that evaporates during boiling over a specific period of time. It is commonly used in brewing, cooking, and various industrial processes to understand and control the evaporation rate of liquids.
