Ceramic casting slip fill volume calculator

Calculate initial fill volume per cast and recovered drain volume per cast with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Use initial fill volume per cast and recovered drain volume per cast to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Calculation method

Calculation method

Initial fill volume per cast (L)

Full cavity volume.

Recovered drain volume per cast (L)

(Cavity−deposit)×recovery fraction.

Net working-slip consumption for batch (L)

Pieces×(cavity−recovered drain), neglecting recycle delay.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Mold cavity, supplied deposit allowance, drain recovery. Returns Working slip demand. All coefficients and observations are user supplied; results describe only the stated mathematical model. Quantities are deterministic calculations from supplied observations and assumptions; no external data is fetched. Supported limits: Finite inputs only; numeric fields bounded as labelled. Lists and JSON records are limited to 256 entries unless a stricter tool bound is stated. No automatic design approval, legal conclusion, treatment recommendation or safety certification. Mold cavity volume (L): minimum 1e-12, maximum 1000000000000.0. Supplied deposit volume left in mold (L): minimum 0, maximum 1000000000000.0. Fraction of drain volume recoverable: minimum 0, maximum 1. Cast pieces: minimum 1, maximum 1000000.
