Ceramic Glaze Usage with measured glaze application per piece of 1.05 kg or lb / piece: a worked example

What does the result look like when measured glaze application per piece reaches 1.05 kg or lb / piece? The full calculation is worked below with real intermediate numbers. a ceramic line needs to know whether glaze application is within the approved process window

The inputs for this scenario

  • Measured glaze application per piece: 1.05 kg or lb / piece (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 0.42)
  • Minimum glaze coverage limit: 0.36 kg or lb / piece (unchanged)
  • Maximum glaze coverage limit: 0.48 kg or lb / piece (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Check whether measured value is between the lower and upper process limits) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 0 outside for ceramic glaze usage, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns -0.57 value for ceramic glaze usage nearest margin.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 0.36 value for minimum glaze coverage limit.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 0.48 value for maximum glaze coverage limit.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where measured glaze application per piece sits at 0.42 kg or lb / piece and the headline result is 1 inside, this scenario comes in 100% below the baseline at 0 outside.
  • A figure at this level is achievable when measured glaze application per piece is genuinely sustained, not just peaked for a shift. It checks application weight only; it does not account for glaze density, suspension solids, body absorption, or uneven distribution across the piece surface.

Results at a glance

  • Ceramic Glaze Usage: 0 outside (headline result)
  • Ceramic Glaze Usage nearest margin: -0.57 value
  • Minimum glaze coverage limit: 0.36 value
  • Maximum glaze coverage limit: 0.48 value
