Slurry density


Mineral Processing App

SLURRY DENSITY:

While pulp density is often used interchangeably with pulp percent solid; the slurry density in the calculations below is correctly defined as the mass per unit volume of slurry (kg/dm3 or kg/L or g/cm3).
Knowledge of slurry density is important, especially in comminution (e.g., in the determination of mill power).

To use:
  • Enter the percent solid .

  • Provide the solid specific gravity.

  • Click on "Calculate" to calculate the slurry density.


  • An example can be seen on this Youtube video.


    Percent solid (%) [percent solid = 100 -percent water]
    Solid specific gravity (kg/L, g/cm3, or t/m3):
