Stream table

What it is for

It shows the balance results for all streams side by side, as in balance spreadsheets: one column per stream, one row per quantity. It sits in the Balance pane, below the drawing, on the Stream table tab.

What the table shows

• Stream: the number of each stream. Click it to select the stream on the drawing.
• Name: the name given to the stream, if any. Click the name (or + name, in the column of the selected stream) to edit it.
• Slurry rows, in the default order:
  1. solids (t/h)
  2. water (m³/h)
  3. slurry (t/h)
  4. slurry (m³/h)
  5. slurry density (t/m³)
  6. solids by weight (%)
  7. solids by volume (%)
  8. solids SG (t/m³)
• Particle size (projects with particle size): P80, P50, control sizes and % retained per size class.
• Grades (projects with grades): one row per analyte.

Colors:

• blue and bold: value specified by the client;
• red: impossible grade;
• "—": unknown value (for example, an analyte not assayed).

Change the order of the slurry rows

1. Each slurry row has a handle (dots) to the left of its name.
2. Drag the handle; an amber line shows where the row will go.
3. With the keyboard: focus the handle and press Alt+↑ / Alt+↓.

The order applies on screen and in the PDF, and is stored in your account preferences (it applies to all projects). The ↺ symbol in the "Stream" corner restores the default order; Restore the default row order is also in My account → Preferences.

The Particle size and Grades groups cannot be reordered: they always come after the slurry rows, in the same order.

Change the order of the columns

1. Each column has a handle (dots) above the stream number.
2. Drag the handle left or right; an amber line shows where the column will go.
3. With the keyboard: focus the handle and press Alt+← / Alt+→.

The column order belongs to the project: it is saved with it, applies to everyone who opens the project and prints the same in the PDF. Changing it can be undone with Undo and only works when the project can be edited. With several tabs, each tab shows its streams in the order you left them. New streams go to the end. The ⇅ 1, 2, 3… button in the "Stream" corner renumbers the streams in the column order: the first column becomes stream 1, the second stream 2, and so on, on the drawing and in the table (with several tabs, in the order of the whole project). Gaps in the numbering close, and a name that was the number itself follows it. The button is greyed out when the numbering already follows the columns, and Undo (Ctrl+Z) brings the old numbers back.

Hide the balance pane

The Hide balance ▾ button, to the right of the summary, collapses the stream table and the balance closure: only the summary line ("Balance closed…") stays, and the drawing gets the room. Show balance ▴ opens it again. The same is in View ▾ → Balance pane and in My account → Preferences. The choice is saved in your account and applies to all projects.

Collapse groups

Click the Particle size or Grades row (▾ / ▸) to hide or show the rows of the group. A collapsed group moves to the end of the table. This applies only on screen and only while the project is open; the PDF has its own options.

Tabs

With more than one tab, the selector next to the balance tabs chooses Streams on this tab or Streams on all tabs. Clicking a stream from another tab opens its source tab. The balance closure always covers the whole project.

Balance closure

The Balance closure tab shows:

• Inputs: Feeds, Water feeds and all water added inside the process (sprays, washes, water additions, dilutions);
• Outputs: the process Products;
• columns: stream, name, solids (t/h), water (m³/h);
• Total inputs, Total outputs and Difference (inputs − outputs), in green when zero ("Balance closed");
• with grades, Grades and distribution: grade and share of each analyte in each input and output.

Tips

• Name the main streams (fresh feed, cyclone OF, final concentrate): the table and the PDF become readable for anyone who has not seen the drawing.
• To check a circulating load, compare the underflow solids with the fresh feed solids.

Common warnings and limits

• "Streams appear here as soon as there are connected units in the drawing."
• "The balance cannot be calculated yet": the list below it says what is missing.
• "No streams on this tab": choose Streams on all tabs.
