Average specific capacity q. (The values are for excenter screens. Vibrating screens may give slightly
higher capacities in fine screening).

For sampling of particulate material, according to Gy [1], the following relation holds
ML M Cd 3
= 2 (1)
LM − M s
In most cases, M is small compared to LM and equation (1) can be simplified into
Cd 3
M= (2)

When both the weight and the analysis of a concentrate are known, the recovery is calculated
as
Mc ⋅ c
R= ⋅100
Mf ⋅ f
In the case, where the weight of the concentrate is not known, this is computed from
