A Method of C alculating Autogenous/ Semi-Autogenous …

SAG mills mimic the same shortcoming. It follows that in order to obtain the specifi c energy (SE) to achieve a certain transfer size, based on the 80 per cent passing value, an ineffi ciency factor must be applied to the SE of single stage ball mills, rod mills or AG/SAG mills when calculating power according to the Bond Third Theory method.

Cambering Steel Beams

the sag ratio for beams, that is, the ratio of mid-ordinate to chord, is so small, it gen-erally is accepted that adequate accuracy results if the camber curve is considered to be a segment of a circular curve. Some camber calculations are based on circular curves. Camber usually is expressed in terms of the maximum ordinate at mid-span.
