Description
Subtract coreMass and volatileMass from finalMass for dryGain.
Manufacturing mass comparisons depend on tare, moisture, exclusions, and dry-solids bases. A yield or residual is a bench accounting result rather than a quality-release decision.
Subtract coreMass and volatileMass from finalMass for dryGain.
When to use this tool
Use Coating Weight Gain Solids Fraction Term when you need one explicit pharmaceutical mass-basis calculation.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter coreMass, finalMass, volatileMass, appliedLiquidMass, solidsFraction. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read dryGain, theoreticalSolids, transferFraction. Use the output convention below.
Subtract coreMass and volatileMass from finalMass for dryGain. Divide by positive appliedLiquidMass × solidsFraction for transferFraction and return theoreticalSolids separately.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| coreMass | Core Mass | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| finalMass | Final Mass | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| volatileMass | Volatile Mass | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| appliedLiquidMass | Applied Liquid Mass | Required. Finite number; strictly above 0. |
| solidsFraction | Solids Fraction | Required. Finite number; maximum 1; strictly above 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| dryGain | Dry Gain | Required. Finite number. |
| theoreticalSolids | Theoretical Solids | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Solids fraction is in (0, 1]; negative gain and transfer above one are retained and no coating acceptance criterion is applied.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use the validated procedure, original batch records, and approved quality criteria for manufacturing decisions.
