Error variance of short duration sieving

Abstract In this study, the variance of ordinary sieving test error was determined concerning the specification limit of sized iron ore product by subtracting the fundamental error (described by the Gy's formalism for sampling), from the global error (recoverable from database of historical values). The results allowed the calculation of the confidence interval for the percentage of material finer than the upper screen specification limit. Thereafter, a method to estimate the so-called effectiveness coefficient of the screening operation was developed, which is the ratio between number of part...
