Tromp Curve v2

This document summarizes the results of a particle size analysis test performed on a cement product using laser diffraction. It includes a table with 27 sieve sizes ranging from 100um to 2um, showing the cumulative percentage passing and distribution metrics for fines, feed, and rejects. A graph plots the cumulative passing percentages versus the sieve sizes. Additional calculations and metrics are provided on a second page, including the fines cumulative yield, circulation load, bypass percentages, and d25, d50, and d75 values.

CTEO milling group version.

TCEA version for Excel 2000


Logo changed to TCEA
Plot (fx-ax) vs (fx-rx): regression line connected to cells S40:S41 and T40:T41
Plot (fx-ax) vs (fx-rx): names "Droite_RA_1" and "Droite_RA_2" removed
2 and 3 done to give the possibility to copy the tab several times in the spreadsheet
without creating problems with the names
There remains the necessity to adjust manually the data cells for this plot within the range
P9:Q37, when the number of sieves varies
Calculations for plotting the cumulative fines yield (range R49:R77): the formula used was
incorrect, changed to "1-R/A*r/a"

The sieve sizes must imperatively be sorted in descending order Enter in cells shaded yellow
