Enter the net mixer volume (m^3), the density of mixed batch (kg/m^3), and the fill factor into the Batch Weight Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Batch Weight.
Batch Weight Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Batch Weight.
BW = NMV * SG * FF
Variables:
- BW is the Batch Weight (kg)
- NMV is the net mixer volume (m^3)
- SG is the density of mixed batch (kg/m^3)
- FF is the fill factor
How to Calculate Batch Weight?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Batch Weight.
- First, determine the net mixer volume (m^3).
- Next, determine the density of mixed batch (kg/m^3).
- Next, determine the fill factor.
- Next, gather the formula from above = BW = NMV * SG * FF.
- Finally, calculate the Batch Weight.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem:
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
net mixer volume (m^3) = 30
density of mixed batch (kg/m^3) = 5000
fill factor = .85
BW = NMV * SG * FF = ?
