Such a combination was due to the fact that when increasing the SAG mill ball charge, it grinds coarser, and by reducing the cyclone feed percent solids, it reduces the cut size, thus returning to the original cut size. In such circumstances the circulating load would be increased.

The percent solids corresponding to the specific gravity of the pulp is then read directly from a set of tables. A direct reading solids table is of no use except for the particular part of the mill where the solids sample is taken. This is because of the difference in specific gravity of the solids at different points in the circuit.
