Method questions

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert g/t to percent?

Divide g/t by 10,000. For example, 300 g/t equals 0.03% by cement mass.

Does the result include product density?

No. Results are mass-based. Convert kg/h to L/h using the current product density.

Can I use nameplate mill capacity?

Use actual stable throughput for operating estimates; nameplate capacity can overstate consumption.

From calculation to mill trial

Calculation results are not submitted automatically. Send the selected product, assumptions and mill baseline to Tony when requesting a technical review.

Check the result against a transparent example

At 100 t/h, a user-selected 300 g/t, 20 h/day and 25 days/month, the mass results are 30 kg/h, 600 kg/day and 15,000 kg/month (15 t/month as displayed by this calculator). These inputs illustrate arithmetic only; they are not a dosage recommendation.

Before using the quantity in an enquiry

  • Specify whether the chosen dose is supplied-product or active-solids based.
  • Confirm the treated material basis and whether hours and days are planned or measured.
  • For L/h, divide kg/h by the grade-specific density in kg/L. This calculator does not perform that conversion.
  • Review performance separately: consumption calculations cannot establish quality, savings or suitability.
