The Density Effect

Steel Grit is nearly **2x as dense** as Copper Slag. In a 500L pot, loading Steel Grit increases the vessel's net weight by 1.1 metric tons compared to slag. This requires technical verification of support skids and lifting lugs before transporting full pots in shipyard environments.

Refill Interval Logic

Refill frequency is a calculation of (Pot Capacity kg / Hourly Consumption kg). For a 500L pot using Garnet with an 8mm nozzle at 100 PSI, the refill interval is approx **2.8 hours**. Optimizing these technical cycles is key to hitting 24/7 production targets.
