Advanced Technical Ceramics calculator
Fired Dimensional Yield Calculator
Dimensional yield shows whether sintering shrinkage, warpage, machining allowance, and grinding control are producing parts within specification. It is especially useful for tight-tolerance ceramic substrates, spacers, seals, wear parts, and insulators where small shifts in density or shrinkage cause scrap.
What this calculator does
- Calculate dimensional yield for fired ceramic parts from parts within tolerance, total parts measured, and the dimensional yield target.
- a quality engineer needs to measure how many fired ceramic parts meet drawing dimensions after sintering or grinding
- Returns the percent of fired or finished parts that meet dimensional tolerance.
Formula used
- Fired dimensional yield = parts within tolerance ÷ total parts measured × 100
- Dimensional yield gap = fired dimensional yield - target dimensional yield
Inputs explained
- Parts within dimensional tolerance: undefined
- Total parts measured: undefined
- Target dimensional yield: undefined
How to use the result
- Use it after sintering, lapping, diamond grinding, or final inspection to track geometry capability.
- It does not show which dimension is driving loss; pair it with Cpk, shrinkage maps, and defect codes for root-cause work.
Common questions
- What information do I need for fired dimensional yield? You need the count of parts within tolerance, total parts measured, and the dimensional yield target for the product or quote.
- Which units should I use for fired dimensional yield? Use the units shown on each field and keep the same basis across the calculation. Do not mix green and fired dimensions, parts and batches, kilograms and pounds, hours and cycles, or square inches and square centimeters unless you convert them first.
- What does the fired dimensional yield result tell me? It tells you what percentage of the fired lot meets dimensional requirements.
- When is this fired dimensional yield estimate only approximate? Use it to adjust green size, firing profile, kiln support, machining allowance, grinding process, or quote scrap factor.
