Calculation method
Calculation method
Minimum observed sample time (hours)
Minimum measured time among samples with the exact selected condition label.
Maximum observed sample time (hours)
Maximum matching measured time.
Mean observed sample time (hours)
Arithmetic mean of matching samples.
Sequential drying batches
Round up item count / simultaneous item capacity.
Sample-based earliest completion (hours)
Batch count × minimum observed time.
Sample-based latest completion (hours)
Batch count × maximum observed time.
Symbols and units
- a
- Measured drying samples: condition label, hours
- b
- Matching condition label
- c
- Items to process
- d
- Items that can dry in parallel
Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.
Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- Uses your observed condition groups without extrapolating humidity, temperature or drying safety. Sequential identical batches are assumed. The observed range is not a confidence interval or guaranteed drying window.
