Total and Volatile Suspended Solids Calculator
(Scroll down for formulas)

Volume filtered, milliliters
Tare weight of filter, grams
Weight of filter plus dry sample, grams
Weight of filter plus ash, grams
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Total suspended solids (TSS), mg/L=
Volatile suspended solids (VSS), mg/L=
The calculations:
TSS, mg/L = [(Filter plus dry sample,grams) - (Filter tare weight,grams)] / (Volume filtered,mL) *
1,000,000
VSS, mg/L = [(Filter plus dry sample,grams) - (Filter plus ash,grams)] / (Volume filtered,mL) *
1,000,000
