Does anyone know the ratio of 1 Campden tablet to Powdered Potassium Metabisulfite?

I'm asking since a recipe i'm doing calls for 1/2 of a campden tablet, yet I only have powdered potassium metabisulfite. Anybody know?

Thanks!

Boy, I don't know exactly but it's not much! I think 1/8 teaspoon of k meta = 1 campden tablet so 1/16 of a teaspoon would be right for 1/2 campden I believe.

If you're using it for water dechlorination, it doesn't have to be so exact though.
