For determining chemical dosages based on chemical solution

characteristics, chemical feed pump settings and plant flow.
Also for calculating new solution crock strength and specific gravity.

Table that list the volumetric amount of chemical to be added

for making 0.1 or 1% stock solutions used for jar testing.

Calculates the volumetric amount of chemical required based

on user targeted stock solution and chemical characteristics
used for jar testing.
Also will calculate dosages based on mL injected for jar testing.
