Category questions

  • Where do the default values come from? Defaults are illustrative operating scenarios. Replace them with measured records and documented assumptions from your own site.
  • Why do some results show a warning? A warning identifies a missed user-entered target or insufficient available capacity. Read the stated gap and check the relevant measurement or planning assumption.
  • Can I download the calculation? Yes. Each calculator has an Excel workbook with live formulas, method notes and worked examples.
  • Why is a result blank? A required measurement is missing, outside its allowed range or cannot support the requested rate. The result message identifies what needs attention.
