In our example, the top size is 80mm and the top up is 100% of 80mm diameter ball.
In order to interpret the sampling results, we have to compare it with the theory.
We take into account sizes with 5mm interval as 80,75,70,65...etc
A theorical charge at the equilibrium is a charge where all the intervals have the same number of balls, except the top size
which has only one half of interval (80-77,5mm) and the 10mm size (12,5-10mm) because we consider that a 10mm ball will
leave the mill
- Let's calculate the theoretical equilibrium charge as follows:
- All the sizes have 68 balls except 80 and 10mm diameters which have 34 balls

- we plot 3 charts in order to compare the reality and the theory and we have:

- In the example here above, one can observe that the reality is closer to the theory, especially for the weight chart
Conclusion
- The method presented here is not the only existing.
The most important is to collect the necessary information to improve the grinding performance.
