Grain Fineness Number Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Grain Fineness Number = Sum of Product of Factor And Grams/Total Mass of Sand
GFN = ΣFM/ΣF_i
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Grain Fineness Number - Grain Fineness Number is a quantitative indication of the grain distribution.
Sum of Product of Factor And Grams - (Measured in Kilogram) - Sum of Product of Factor And Grams the total obtained by multiplying each factor by its corresponding weight in grams and then adding all those products together.
Total Mass of Sand - (Measured in Kilogram) - Total Mass of Sand is the combined weight of all the sand used in the molding process to create the mold cavity for casting.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Sum of Product of Factor And Grams: 15.6 Gram --> 0.0156 Kilogram (Check conversion here)
Total Mass of Sand: 3.89 Gram --> 0.00389 Kilogram (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

GFN = ΣFM/ΣF_i --> 0.0156/0.00389

Evaluating ... ...

GFN = 4.01028277634961

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

4.01028277634961 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

4.01028277634961 ≈ 4.010283 <-- Grain Fineness Number

What is Grain Fineness Number (GFN)?

The Grain Fineness Number (GFN) is a quantitative indication of the grain distribution. To calculate the grain fineness number, each sieve has been given a weightage factor. The amount retained on each sieve is multiplied by the respective weightage factor, summed up, and then divided by the total mass of the sample, which gives the grain fineness number.

How to Calculate Grain Fineness Number?

Grain Fineness Number calculator uses Grain Fineness Number = Sum of Product of Factor And Grams/Total Mass of Sand to calculate the Grain Fineness Number, The Grain Fineness Number is the ratio of summation of product of sand retained in each sieve and respective multiplicative factor to the total amount of sand. Grain Fineness Number is denoted by GFN symbol.

How to calculate Grain Fineness Number using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Grain Fineness Number, enter Sum of Product of Factor And Grams (ΣFM) & Total Mass of Sand (ΣF_i) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Grain Fineness Number calculation can be explained with given input values -> 4.010283 = 0.0156/0.00389.
