- Diameter inside shell = 10.970 m (36 ft)
- Diameter inside liners = 10.797 m (35.42 ft, 3.5 inch effective liner thickness)
- Belly length inside liners (EGL) = 4.417 m (14.5 ft)
- Centre-line length = 6.920 m
Table 4 presents results of several SAG surveys at different speed and load conditions. The survey measured motor input power. Drives are assumed to have an efficiency of 0.96 and pinion efficiency of 0.985, so the model shell power draw is converted to motor input power by dividing by 0.9456. The predicted power draw of Example project circuit number 7 (Fimiston) using sample MLE, based on the KCGM paper published by Campbell, J. et al; 1998 AusIMM Annual Conference.
