Degumming Weight Loss Percent
Audit degumming dry-matter loss and independently recovered bath-solids closure while retaining signed wet-mass and balance contrasts; loss is not automatically pure sericin removal.
Description
Degumming loss includes material removed on a dry basis.
Degumming loss includes material removed on a dry basis. Comparing independently recovered bath solids exposes an unclosed balance.
Audit degumming dry-matter loss and independently recovered bath-solids closure while retaining signed wet-mass and balance contrasts; loss is not automatically pure sericin removal.
When to use Degumming Weight Loss Percent
Use this tool to audit degumming dry-matter loss and independently recovered bath-solids closure while retaining signed wet-mass and balance contrasts; loss is not automatically pure sericin removal.
Prepare cocoon, larval, leaf or reeling measurements on a consistent batch and moisture basis. Use the declared mass, length and time units.
How to use Degumming Weight Loss Percent and understand its results
- Prepare cocoon, larval, leaf or reeling measurements on a consistent batch and moisture basis. Use the declared mass, length and time units.
- Enter beforeMassGrams, beforeMoistureFraction, afterMassGrams, afterMoistureFraction, removedBathDrySolidsGrams using the field table and calculation rules, then run the tool.
- Read asReceivedLossPercent, dryMatterLossPercent, unclosedDryMatterGrams. The explanation below defines the units, signs, ordering and any flags or placeholder values.
- If the tool reports an input issue, correct the values and run it again. Apply the stated assumptions when interpreting a successfully returned result.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type; see rules below | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| beforeMassGrams | Before mass grams | number | Required |
| beforeMoistureFraction | Before moisture fraction | number | Required |
| afterMassGrams | After mass grams | number | Required |
| afterMoistureFraction | After moisture fraction | number | Required |
| removedBathDrySolidsGrams | Removed bath dry solids grams | number | Required |
Use positive before mass, nonnegative after and bath solids and moisture fractions in [0,1]. Require positive initial dry mass and after dry mass no greater than before. Preserve signed received loss and dry-balance remainder.1
dry loss percent = 100 × (1 − after dry/before dry) Units, indexing, boundary conditions and exceptional cases are defined in the calculation rules above.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| asReceivedLossPercent | As received loss percent | number |
| dryMatterLossPercent | Dry matter loss percent | number |
| unclosedDryMatterGrams | Unclosed dry matter grams | number |

}Limitations and assumptions
Loss is not automatically pure sericin; negative closure remains a reported discrepancy.
Numbers and computed results must be finite; overflow produces an error. Missing required fields, extra fields, wrong value types and violations of the calculation rules are input errors.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use Raw Silk Recovery Percent: Balance raw-silk recovery on wet/dry bases and retained dry byproducts; unrecovered includes non-silk material and is not automatically pure-silk loss. For a complementary task, use Conditioned Weight International Formula: Estimate lot commercial conditioned weight using pooled sample dry/received ratios and an explicit agreed dry-basis regain; no jurisdiction-specific conditioning allowance is embedded.
