** 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
 
** 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 sample circuit number 7 (Fimiston) using sample '''MLE''', based on the KCGM paper published by Campbell, J. et al; 1998 AusIMM Annual Conference.

The overall average difference between the model motor input predictions and the measurements are 3.4%, but range from -9.1% to 15.3%.
 
 
The SAG mill belly length reported can be achieved with a 16.5 degree head angle and 2.47 m trunnion diameter. The ball mill belly length can be achieved with a 18 degree head angle and 1.9 m trunnion diameter.
