The SAGDesign Test or Standard Autogenous Grinding Design Test is used throughout the world by leading Mining Organizations to understand ore comminution hardness.  It is used to determine the pinion energy in both the SAGMill and the Ball Mill.  It can also be used in conjunction with other tests such as the JK Drop Weight test and / or the SPI test, the Bond Rod Mill Work Index test, the Bond Crushing Work Index Test and the Unconfined Compressive Strength test.  SAG unit power needed to grind from F80 152mm to T80 1.7mm, and the Bond Ball Mill Work Index (Wi) on SAG ground material are measured in the SAGDesign Test.   Unit pinion energy required for SAG and Ball milling will be calculated to the final specified D80 for the final product from each Mill.  Our reports include recommendations for the best grinding mill power split, T80, and other pertinent information arising from the study, particularly with regard to SAG Mill grate and media size.  The SAGDesign Test name is a trade mark of Starkey & Associates.  The test procedure is patented worldwide by Outotec who co-sponsored the development work.
