CTEO milling group version.
TCEA version for Excel 2000
Logo changed to TCEA
Plot (fx-ax) vs (fx-rx): regression line connected to cells S40:S41 and T40:T41
Plot (fx-ax) vs (fx-rx): names "Droite_RA_1" and "Droite_RA_2" removed
2 and 3 done to give the possibility to copy the tab several times in the spreadsheet
without creating problems with the names
There remains the necessity to adjust manually the data cells for this plot within the range
P9:Q37, when the number of sieves varies
Calculations for plotting the cumulative fines yield (range R49:R77): the formula used was
incorrect, changed to "1-R/A*r/a"
TROMP CURVE Page 1
The sieve sizes must imperatively be sorted in descending order Enter in cells shaded yellow
