Belt Conveyor Scale on an Incline

Posted in: , on 27. Feb. 2015 - 20:36

I have a Ramsey Belt Conveyor scale on an incline of 15 degrees. A while back the incline angle parameter was mistakenly changed to 5 degrees. I need to calculate the percent error going from 5 degrees to 15 degrees incline. With product on the belt at 5 degrees, the indication was 35 tons per hour. When I changed the incline to 15 degrees the indication was 48 T/H. At another rate it read 189 T/H on 5 degrees and 205 T/H at 15 degrees.

I'm more interested in calculating the percent error from the angle difference than the indicated differences.
