General

Storage Requirements

This manual has been designed to make you


familiar with the easiest and most practical
way to install, operate, and maintain the
KREBS Cyclone - keep it handy for future
reference. Additional information can be
obtained from the KREBS Engineers offices.
Please see our web site at www.krebs.com
for the location of the nearest KREBS office or
representative. The cyclone you have
purchased cannot operate well without proper
care. To keep the unit at top efficiency,
correct procedures for installation and
maintenance must be followed.

KREBS Cyclones, rubber lined manifold


components and auxiliary equipment such as
valves, should always be stored:

Cyclone Identification
KREBS cyclones are designated by Model
Numbers, Serial Numbers, size and style.
This information is stamped on an
identification plate.
Permanent records for this cyclone are kept
by the serial number; therefore, the serial
number must be used with all
correspondence and spare parts orders.

Receiving Instructions
Where possible KREBS equipment is usually
shipped in its complete assembled form;
consistent with transportation and handling
equipment limits. Component parts such as
pipe fittings and spare parts are frequently
placed inside the cone section of the cyclone.
When removing the cyclone from its packing,
care should be taken to account for all parts.
Individual items can be checked against the
packing slip.
An Inlet Pressure Gauge and Diaphragm
Assembly is furnished with many KREBS
Cyclones. These are packed separately and
without necessary fluid. Please check the
crate carefully for these items.

out of direct sunlight;


away from heat and;
protected from extreme weather conditions.
The preferred storage area will be a cool,
well-ventilated building.
If outside storage is mandatory, the
equipment should be totally covered over
with heavy, opaque, plastic weather
covering. It is essential that the plastic be
opaque so as to cut out direct sunlight. In
addition, a light color opaque material is
desirable, to avoid heat build - up under the
covering. Flange protectors are usually
supplied with rubber-lined flanges.
The covering should be spread over the
equipment with allowance for underside
ventilation to avoid excessive heat build-up
and moisture condensation. Elevating the
equipment a minimum of 2 inches above
ground level should ensure adequate
ventilation and prevention of moisture
condensation.
The natural gum rubber employed in the
manufacture of the cyclone liners is
adversely affected by heat. However, if
stored exactly as described above, ambient
temperatures of less than 120{F (preferably
less than100{F) can be maintained.
The equipment will not be damaged by
freezing conditions as long as it is kept dry.
If sub-zero conditions are involved, care
should be taken when handling to avoid
damage to projecting rubber splash skirts
and similar parts as they become brittle at
very low temperatures.

Storage Requirements (contd)
Natural gum rubber is damaged by ozone,
and hence this equipment should not be
stored in close proximity to possible ozone
sources such as high voltage rectifier
equipment.
Where auxiliary equipment includes
instrumentation, automatic valves, etc.,
particular care should be taken to avoid
moisture and moisture condensation
occurring during storage.

Cyclone Design Considerations


The primary consideration in selecting the
proper size and design of cyclone is the
classification objective, and not capacity, as is
the case in many other process devices.
KREBS Engineers, for each specific
classification objective, calculate the proper
relationship between inlet orifice, vortex
finder, and apex orifice size, and all cyclones
are engineered for the job prior to shipment.

(Rev 01/07)

Vortex Finder
From the standpoint of its impact on
operating results, this is the most critical of
all orifices. The vortex finder size has the
greatest effect on pressure drop for a given
volume, and generally speaking, the larger
the vortex finder the coarser the cut and the
greater the proportion of solids reporting to
overflow. Conversely, a smaller vortex finder
normally means a finer cut and lower solids,
but too small a size may so reduce volume
and velocity that inferior performance could
result.
For any slurry, an optimum balance between
permissible dilution, largest vortex finder,
and lowest pressure drop possible for the
desired objective should be sought. Since
most classification problems involve a fixed
volume, the size of the vortex finder and
pressure drop will be interdependent.

Apex Orifice

Inlet Orifice

The function of the apex orifice is to


discharge the coarse material in such a form
that maximum density and smoothness of
discharge is obtained. Therefore, it should
be large enough to allow the tonnage
reporting there to exit with a slight conical
cross-sectional shape, but should not be
used as a control of separation.

The inlet orifice size governs the entrance


velocity of the pulp, but its major function is to
provide a smooth flow-pattern at the point of
entry. All KREBS Cyclones are designed with
an involute entry that orientates the particles
prior to reaching the tangential point of
contact with the cylinder wall.

The apex orifice should never be so small


that a "roping" condition exists, for this is an
indication that a larger tonnage is reporting
to underflow than the apex orifice is allowing
to discharge. Therefore, the remainder must
report to overflow, reducing the effectiveness
of classification.

There is seldom any necessity for changing


these orifice sizes unless the classification
objectives or plant operating conditions are
altered.

This design minimizes turbulence at this point


and reduces the possibility of oversize
particles being short-circuited into the vortex
finder, due to turbulence or ricochet action.
The involute entry also allows the use of
larger vortex finders for equivalent
separations than a direct tangential entry;
hence, lower pressure drops, greater unit
capacities, and sharper separations are
obtained.

INSTALLATION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE

KREBS CYCLONES
Installation
Each cyclone should be securely mounted on
a soundly constructed frame so that stresses
on the overflow/underflow piping are
minimized.

Pressure Gauge
An option with most KREBS Cyclones is a
pressure gauge and diaphragm assembly.
The assembly is available with a 0.25
connection for use with fine solids or a 1.25
connection for use with coarse solids. If this
assemble was purchased, see the attached
assembly drawing.
The Diaphragm Assembly must be installed,
and BEFORE installing the Pressure Gauge,
the upper chamber of the diaphragm must be
filled with a suitable (light) machine oil.

Sump
The conversion of flow and velocity to kinetic
energy in a cyclone is derived from the energy
supplied by the pump. Each adjustment of
the cyclone variables will influence the
pumping to some degree, and these will be
discussed under operation. Constant
volumetric flow to the cyclone is important.
Momentary fluctuations are generally the
result of air trapped in the slurry.
Correct design of the pump sump is probably
the most important single factor in
establishing an efficient cyclone operation.
The liquid level in the sump is by no means
an indication that the cyclone is receiving a
constant and uniform volume of feed. This
can best be detected by watching the inlet
pressure gauge attached to the cyclone. If
the needle of the gauge fluctuates fairly
rapidly, it is a definite indication that there is
entrained air in the pump discharge slurry,
despite the fact that the pump sump may hold
a constant level.
The only way to correct this deficiency is to
prevent the entering stream from carrying
entrapped air to the suction of the pump. A
simple correction is to mount a horizontal

INDUSTRIAL
(Rev 01/07)

metal plate in the pump sump well below the


normal
level of the slurry in the sump. This plate
can hang by straps suspended from the top
of the sump, or the plate can be welded at
several points around the periphery of the
sump to hold it in place. An annular opening
between the plate and the edges of the sump
of about one inch around its entire periphery
will generally be sufficient to allow the total
volume of slurry to pass from the upper
compartment to the lower section.
It is always difficult to hold the feed volume in
any pumping circuit at an exact constant. To
safeguard against this possibility of minor
fluctuations in flow, it is always desirable to
install a float valve connected to a fresh
water supply in the pump sump. This float
can be adjusted in such a fashion that it only
functions when the level in the sump is
drawn down to a low level. This will prevent
emptying the sump, causing a momentary air
lock and a sudden fluctuation in volume
pumped.
In certain de-sliming or de-watering
operations, it is permissible to return a
portion of the overflow product to the pump
sump to maintain a constant level. It must
be remembered that the slime content in any
feed slurry to a cyclone is an inhibiting factor,
and the greater the slime content, the more
difficult it becomes to make a given
separation for a given set of conditions of
dilution and feed pressure.
This is the reason that the use of recirculated
overflow product should be handled with
caution, as there is always danger of
recirculating an excess quantity and
unnecessarily increasing the slime content in
the cyclone feed slurry. Where water is
reasonably plentiful or the volume of
overflow products is not an important
consideration, it is desirable to add fresh
water as a means of volume control in
preference to recirculating the overflow
product of the cyclone.

INSTALLATION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE

INDUSTRIAL

KREBS CYCLONES
Installation (Contd)
The overflow product should go to
atmosphere as near the unit as possible, and
facilities should be available for sampling. If
the overflow pipe is carried directly to an
elevation substantially below the apex of the
cyclone, it creates a siphon action, which in
turn causes coarser particles to be carried
into the overflow product. Sometimes one
intentionally installs a siphon on an overflow
to assist in pulling over coarser sizes and
higher density of overflow products. This
procedure must be approached with caution,
as it is a strictly artificial means of controlling
the classification potential in a cyclone.
Generally speaking, the use of a larger vortex
finder, lower pressure drop, or a combination
of both can accomplish this far more
effectively.
The underflow discharge should not be
permanently enclosed, as it is most important
to be able to observe the characteristics of
this flow. Normally a periodic adjustment of
the apex valve will maintain the underflow as
a loose rope or a slight spray discharge, in
preference to a so-called "rope" discharge.
A "rope" discharge is an indication that there
is excess crowding of solids at the apex
orifice, which if carried too far can cause
tramp over-size to be carried into the overflow
product. If mesh of separation is relatively
fine, and it is important to hold this separation
at a near constant, it is never desirable to
attempt to pull a "rope" discharge at the apex
of the cyclone.
The launder handling the underflow should be
large enough to permit observation and
sampling of the underflow product, and wide
enough to prevent wear on the sides of the
launder when the apex is discharging in a
relatively wide spray. It should also be deep
enough to avoid splash and excessive wear
on the bottom of the launder.

(Rev 01/07)

Pump
Pumping to a cyclone, or battery of cyclones,
must be carefully engineered to the job both
as to size and type of the pump, and to size
and length of the pipe line. Wear results in a
much higher pump maintenance cost than
cyclone maintenance cost.
Wear on a pump varies approximately
proportionately to the cube of the velocity. In
order to minimize the pump speed and pump
maintenance, the cyclone should be as near
to the pump as possible. A certain inlet
pressure at the cyclone will be required, so
there is also a power saving by having the
static and friction head as low as possible.

Piping
When designing cyclone piping, the most
important consideration is to establish a
velocity that will prevent particle segregation
in the pipe line, and at the same time hold
the velocity to a minimum to reduce wear,
which increases rapidly with increase in
velocity.
With a large majority of installations for
pumping slurries, the velocity range falls
between a low of about 5 f/s and a high of 15
f/s.
Major factors in determining the optimum
velocity in a pipeline are:
particle size
angularity of the coarser fractions
specific gravity of solids
slimes content
pulp density
viscosity

Operation
Numerous factors influence the operation of a
cyclone, such as distribution of particle sizes,
percent feed solids, specific gravity of solids
and liquid and pulp viscosity.
Following is a brief discussion of some
factors influencing cyclone operation, which
the operator normally is able to vary:

Feed Dilution
Feed dilution is the most effective control
available. The use of additional dilution water
will always result in a finer and sharper
separation.

Pressure Measurement
Pressure drop across a cyclone is the
pressure differential between the cyclone
inlet and overflow. When the cyclone
discharges to atmosphere, a condition that
we always recommend, the inlet pressure
(gauge reading) is, for practical purposes, the
pressure drop. In such cases then, the
pressure drop and cyclone inlet pressure are
synonymous. Where the cyclone overflow
discharges against a head (back pressure
against the cyclone overflow), the terms are
not synonymous.
Pressure measurement is merely an
indication of the energy required to force a
given volume through a cyclone fitted with a
certain combination of orifices, and is not an
indication of developed force-pattern or
through-put, except as related to that one
particular set of operating conditions.
To cite an extreme example, it is entirely
possible to operate with an abnormally high
pressure drop across a cyclone fitted with
small inlet, vortex, and apex orifice.
The volume throughput could be very slight;
whereas, superior performance as well as
greatly increased capacity could result from
the same cyclone operating at a lower
pressure drop with larger orifices.

Excessive pressures result in higher costs for


pump operation and maintenance and should
be avoided wherever possible.

Apex Assemblies
The distribution of particle sizes in the
underflow product has the greatest influence
on underflow percent solids. For example; a
clean, sandy underflow with particles of 2.6
specific gravity and ranging from about 1700
to 230 microns (with a very low percentage of
particles less than 230 microns) would
produce an underflow product of 65 to 70%
solids. A similar underflow with a full-range
distribution of sizes from about 1700 to 75
microns could be discharged at 70 to 76%
solids. Many density measurements at
various operations have demonstrated that
the difference in pulp density between a
moderate spray discharge and a rope
discharge is rarely more than about 2-5%
solids.
Various adjustable and fixed apex
assemblies are available for KREBS Cyclones.
The adjustable series may be varied as
required for plant operation with 0 80 psi (0
552 kpa) plant air or with hydraulic pressure
if plant air is not available.

CAUTION
Never exceed 100 psi (690 kPa) on the
adjustable valve assembly. To do so will
result in distortion of the apex orifice
shape and may rupture or dislodge the
liner, any of which will result in poor
cyclone performance.
Fixed apex assemblies are usually fitted to
cyclones in closed-circuit grinding
applications where the highly abrasion
resistant ceramic apex inserts provide
extremely long life and minimum apex
maintenance costs. The fixed apex is also
used to similar advantage in other
applications when apex adjustability is not
required.

INSTALLATION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE

KREBS CYCLONES
Spare Cyclones
To minimize the risk of manifold feed nozzles
plugging while they are idle, we recommend
cycling the valves on the standby cyclones on
a regular basis, turning off other cyclones to
take their place. This way, all of the cyclones
on the system get evenly used and wear at a
uniform rate rather than having the same one
or two cyclones shut off all the time while the
other ones wear out. This cycling will reduce
the possibility of material settling in a feed
pipe of a standby cyclone and "setting up",
causing a permanent blockage. It will take
trial and error to determine how frequently the
valves on the spare cyclones should be
opened. Start initially with once or twice a
shift and then gradually lengthen the interval
if no blockages occur.

INSTALLATION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE

KREBS CYCLONES
Maintenance
It is necessary to regularly check the cyclone
liners for wear. The cyclone liners can only
be properly inspected by disassembling the
cyclone. This must be done when the
cyclone is not in service.
The life of the liners will depend on the
application and the type of liner material
being used. It is the responsibility of the
operator to establish a routine for regular
inspection after a cyclone has been
commissioned and, from experience,
determine the frequency with which the
cyclone liners must be inspected and/or
changed.

Replacing Cyclone Liners


CAUTION
Before torquing bolts connecting any two
housing sections, inspect adjacent liner
alignment for reverse shelving (see
below). This condition causes fluid
turbulence that may accelerate liner wear,
and may also affect cyclone performance.
A reverse shelf can be corrected during
assembly of the cyclone; while the bolts
are still loose. The housing sections can
be shifted from side to side until reverse
shelf is eliminated. Torque bolts after
proper alignment is achieved.

ELASTOMER LINER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS


Overview:
1.

The KREBS Cyclone standard liner material is made of a molded, high density, pure gum
rubber that is compounded to provide a long wear life. In addition, urethane and other
elastomers are available for all liner sections and can be used in applications where gum
rubber is not well suited. All of the elastomer liners are designed for a firm fit into their
corresponding housing. These liners are designed for a compression fit in the housing to
extend wear life; which sometimes gives the initial impression that the elastomer liner is too
large. However, by following the recommended installation techniques, the liners can be
easily installed and provide a good fit.

2.

The circumferential compression of liners installed in their respective housings may create
elongation to the extent that the liner projects beyond the metal housing. Plywood boards
bolted or weighted to each end of the metal housing will compress liners to the proper length
until the adhesive sets up in one to two hours.

3. Standard elastomer inlet head liners, cylinder liners, and cone liners must be cemented into
their metal housings to prevent premature failure. Apex liners do not need to be cemented.
Recommended adhesive is KrebStik liner cement, a compound that we stock specifically
for this purpose. This KrebStik adhesive also serves as a lubricant during liner installation
enabling liners to slide in easily.
3.1. For certain models and configurations, application of adhesive is not necessary for
installation. Adhesive is not required for urethane liners, all talon flange liners, all apex
liners and all liners used in FRP housings. Smaller diameter cyclones, 3 (75mm), 4
(100mm), 6 (150 mm), generally do not require liner adhesive although it is not
detrimental to use it.
4.

The adhesive contact surfaces of all rubber and elastomer liners must be thoroughly
cleaned prior to applying adhesive. We recommend Toloul, Chevron Socal #3, or other
general-purpose solvent.

5.

The liner adhesive should be allowed to set up for one to two hours after liner installation
prior to placing the cyclone in service.

6.

Many KREBS Cyclone liners are manufactured with gaskets integrated into the design (as
part of the liner). These gaskets are referenced in this guide as liner flange gasket(s).
These gaskets do not come with pre-stamped bolt hole patterns and require punching as
part of the installation procedure. These integrated gaskets seal the joint as well as prevent
slurry from entering between the liner and the housing. All flange bolts should be tightened
just snug enough to prevent leakage. Excessive tightening will distort the liner causing
abnormal wear and inefficient performance.
CAUTION: Excessive tightening of flange bolts will cause distortion and result
in abnormally severe wear and possibly liner dislodgment. (When using a
torque wrench, 35ft. 40 ft. lbs. (48 N-m) is sufficient. DO NOT EXCEED).

INSTALLATION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE

KREBS CYCLONES

INDUSTRIAL
(Rev 11/08)

7. Periodic inspections of liners should be made until accurate wear records are determined.
At which time a replacement schedule based upon operating time can be established. The
liner wear life varies according to its location in the cyclone and generally it is shortest in the
lower cone section where abrasive action is greatest. All KREBS Cyclone liners are
designed with a slight drop off at each joint by making the I.D. at the bottom of each liner
slightly smaller than the I.D. of the liner fitting immediately below it. After assembly, each
joint should be inspected to insure that there is either a flush fit of the liners or a slight drop
off, but never a projecting shelf. Since liner wear is not equal throughout the cyclone, the
lower section liners must be replaced more frequently than the upper liners. However, when
any liner has worn to the degree that a projecting shelf results from the installation of a new
liner below it, the upper liner should be replaced also.
8.

The KrebStik liner cement forms a bond between the liner and housing strong enough to
hold the liner in place during normal operation. However, it is not a permanent bond and
worn liners may be manually peeled away from the housing when a replacement is
necessary. The housing contact surface should be cleaned of dirt and foreign material but
adhesive does not need to be removed. An adhesive other than KrebStik may be more
difficult to use and is not recommended.

9.

Liners correctly installed should remain in the proper position under normal operating
conditions. However, if performance of a cyclone falls below standard, liners should be
examined for wear, displacement, or tearing.

10. Rubber liners should always be stored in a cool location and never in direct sunlight. KREBS
maintains an extremely large inventory of parts and takes pride in the fact that most
shipments can be made within 24 hours from receipt of orders.
If there are any problems in the installation or operation of KREBS Cyclones, please contact
KREBS for assistance. Our staff will be happy to assist you.

A. Removal of Old Liner


Proper installation of KREBS BPC and other Elastomer liners is essential for maximum
performance and service. Most liners must be cemented into their corresponding metal
housing. Apex liners, urethane liners and talon flange style liners do not require adhesive.
Liners are easily replaced by the following procedure:
1. Remove old liner by grasping one end and peeling away the housing. Larger liners
may require working from both ends to loosen entire liner.
2. Remove all dirt and foreign material from housing.
3. Clean interior of housing thoroughly using cleaning solvent (Chevron Socal #3, Toloul, or
equal).

Look down the Tot. Vol. Column (Under the 2.6 heading) for nearest figure to 157.56. In
this case it would be between 18% and 19% solids, closer to 18%. The difference
between 157.56 and 158.08 (the figure for 18% solids) is 0.52. The difference between
the figures for 18% and 19% solids, 158.08 and 148.73, is 9.35, one tenth of which is
0.93. Dividing 0.52 by 0.93 you get .56. A correction of five-hundredths must be made.
The calculated figure of 157.56 is closer to the 18% figure, and slightly smaller, so the
corrected solids would be 18.05% solids. The interpolation can be carried out to three
places, if desired, but it is doubtful if any sample is that representative of the total flow,
except by coincidence.

UNDERFLOW CALCULATIONS:
Due to its high density and relatively small flow, the underflow must be measured with
extreme care. It is more accurate to take a small sample of the underflow product, and
dry it, to determine the percent solids, than it is to weigh a liter container. For example:
lets assume one operator calculates 19 GPM at 67% solids, and another calculates 21
GPM at 70% solids. The results would be as follows:
19 X 8 = 152
152
28.07 = 5.41 TPH

21 X 8 = 168
168
26.02 = 6.46 TPH

This is a substantial discrepancy, and yet each operator could well assume that he had
exercised sufficient care in taking and weighing samples. A sufficiently large sample, say
a 5-gal. can for small flows, and carefully timed with a stopwatch, should give accurate
results for all practical purposes.
FEED CALCULATIONS:
As a check you can take a density sample of the Feed. This can usually be done, with
reasonable accuracy, by tapping into the feed line. With Feed destiny known (from the
sample) and gallonage calculated by adding Underflow and Overflow GPMs the tonnage
check would be as follows:

Calculating Flows, Densities and Tonnages from the Table (contd)


Assume your Feed sample is 16% solids.
By Formula (1)
220 X 8 = 1760 (Cu. Ft. of pulp per hour)
1760
180.31 (from chart) = 9.76 TPH
This would indicate a feed rate of 9.76 TPH, as against 11.17 TPH by addition of
Overflow TPH and Underflow TPH, which is not a satisfactory check. Based on our
laboratory investigations, the percent solids in the samples sent for testing was invariably
higher than reported from plant operations.
In such calculations, where high multiple-factors are unavoidable, something must be
assumed as accurate. In cyclone work, it is usually best to use the overflow as a starting
point. Flow can be measured with reasonable accuracy, and a slight error in percent
solids will not materially alter the TPH.
Therefore, calculate the Overflow GPM and TPH formula (1). Carefully measure the
Underflow GPM only. Add the Overflow GPM to the Underflow GPM. This may be
assumed as an accurate Feed GPM. Average the calculated percent solids in the Feed
with the percent solids from the Feed Sample. Use this figure with the formula (1) to
calculate the TPH in the Feed. Subtract the Overflow TPH from the Feed TPH for a
revised Underflow TPH. You now have the Underflow GPM and TPH. The percent solids
can be calculated from these figures by formula (2). It is always dangerous to assume
that the Feed sample is accurate, as this is the most difficult product to sample, and also
fluctuations have the most pronounced effect of the other variables.
Another way to check tonnages is to use the Screen Analysis Method. It is necessary to
have the particles size distribution for all three products. Any sieve may be used that is
common to all products. Normally a 200 mesh sieve is the most practical. The formula is
as follows:
(% 200 mesh in the Overflow) (the % 200 mesh in the Feed)
(% 200 mesh in the Feed) (the % 200 mesh in the Underflow).
This gives a ratio of Underflow TPH to Overflow TPH.
Example:
(Using same data as above calculations)
Feed
= 56.5% 200 mesh
Overflow = 98.6% 200 mesh
Underflow = 18.3% 200 mesh
Using the above formula, you have:
98.6 56.5
56.5 18.3 42.1 = 1.102 = ratio of Underflow to Overflow.

Calculating Flows, Densities and Tonnages from the Table (contd)


Calculations from Tables:
Underflow = 5.84 TPH
Overflow = 5.33 TPH

= 1.095

Screen Analysis Method:


Underflow = Overflow X ratio
5.33 X 1.102 = 5.87 TPH
The above check on ratios of 1.095 against 1.102, or tonnages of 5.84 TPH against 5.87 TPH,
would be considered a very satisfactory check.
It is difficult to obtain an accurate figure for the percentage of minus 200 mesh particles by a
single screening, either wet or dry. A combination of wet and dry screening will give a far more
accurate result. This can be checked by using the same formula on another sizing, say 100 to
65 mesh. If the screen analysis is accurate throughout, the formula will be the same ratio figure
for all sizes.

The formulas may be used for intermediate specific gravities, providing that the known
factors are established with sufficient accuracy. This is very difficult by normal methods.
With very dilute pulps, the ratio of solids to water is such that moisture on the outside of the
container or a few drops (+ or -) inside the container will materially affect the reading. With
high-density pulps it is very difficult to establish an accurate meniscus reading. For all
practical purposes it is sufficiently accurate, commensurate with the usual method of taking
and weighing samples, to interpolate from the chart for intermediate gravities.
EXAMPLE:
To determine the percent solids of pulp weighing 1400 grams per liter and containing an
unknown amount of solids with a Sp. Gr. of 3.5;
By formula:
350 (X-1) =
2.5 X

350 X .400
2.5 X 1.400

140
3.50

= 40% solids

By interpolation:
Look for the figures that are closest to 1400 grams/liter in the 3.4 and 3.8 columns. In the
3.4 column the figure must be below 1400, and in the 3.8 column it must be greater than
1400. This required is fulfilled at 40% solids, showing 1393 grams/liter at 3.4 and 1418 at
3.8. There are four points difference between 3.4 and 3.8, so 3.5 would be increase
over 3.4. The difference between 1393 and 1418 is 25, of which is 6 plus. Add 6 to
1393 and you get 1399, which is sufficiently accurate for all practical purposes. The
density of the pulp at 3.5 Sp. Gr. is therefore 40% solids.

The same applies to the Cu. Ft./ton required to give one dry ton of solids. The figures on the same
line, under 3.4 and 3.8 columns, are 57.41 and 56.42 cubic feet. The difference is .99, of which
would be .25.
In this case you subtract .25 from the figure under the 3.4 column, as it requires less volume as the
density increases. Therefore, 57.41 minus .25 equals 57.16, which is the cubic feet of pulp at 40%
solids necessary to make one dry ton of solids at 3.5 Sp. Gr.
