Ramp Volume Calculator
Inventory actual independently surveyed piecewise-prismatic ramp sections with independently measured excluded void/material, not standard rectangular design dimensions or forecast geometry. Caller independently verifies units, applicability and matching conditions; no operational recipe, safety certification, causal efficacy or legal/resource classification is inferred.
Description
Surveyed ramp segments can be recorded as separate prismatic sections with exclusions.
Surveyed ramp segments can be recorded as separate prismatic sections with exclusions.1
Summing their net volumes preserves the segment ledger.
When to use Ramp Volume Calculator
Use this tool to calculate or review the supplied observations under the stated rules. Match completed survey or ledger observations by block, segment or stage and confirm their units and boundaries.
How to use Ramp Volume Calculator and understand its results
- Match completed survey or ledger observations by block, segment or stage and confirm their units and boundaries.
- Enter observedRampSectionAreaM2, observedRampSegmentLengthsM, observedExcludedRampVolumeM3, using the field meanings and rules below, then run the tool.
- Read surveyedNetSegmentVolumesM3, totalSurveyedNetVolumeM3. Inspect nested result fields where present, and review unknown records separately from known matches.
- Correct any reported input issue and run again. Before using a successful result, check the stated units, signs, reference scope and observation coverage.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| observedRampSectionAreaM2 | Observed ramp section area m2 | list of number | Required |
| observedRampSegmentLengthsM | Observed ramp segment lengths m | list of number | Required |
| observedExcludedRampVolumeM3 | Observed excluded ramp volume m3 | list of number | Required |
Use aligned areas≥0 m², lengths>0 m and excluded volumes≥0 m³. Compute area×length−excluded per segment, reject negative net volumes and return the segment values and their sum.
net_i=area_i length_i−excluded_i; total=Σnet_i Use the matching field units and the exact boundary, ordering and reference rules above.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| surveyedNetSegmentVolumesM3 | Surveyed net segment volumes m3 | list of number |
| totalSurveyedNetVolumeM3 | Total surveyed net volume m3 | number |

}Limitations and assumptions
Units, ledger boundaries, survey interpretation and model applicability must be independently established. These summaries do not assign reserve/resource classifications or establish support adequacy, ventilation safety or an operating setting.
Missing required fields, unknown fields, wrong types and violated rules return input issues. Numeric values and outputs must be finite. Lists and matrices must be dense, without missing cells. Numeric lists allow at most 10000 entries; ordinary string lists allow at most 128 strings of 128 UTF-16 units each; numeric matrices allow at most 128 rows and 128 columns, subject to narrower requirements above.
