About: Miner's inch

An Entity of Type: organisation, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The miner's inch is a unit of flow in terms of volume per unit time, usually in relation to the flow of water. The definition of a miner's inch varies by location. In hydraulic mining and some forms of placer mining, as well as ore dressing, a large and regular supply of water is needed. The miner's inch is a method of measuring the amount of flow a particular water supply system (such as a flume or sluice) is capable of supplying.

  • The miner's inch is a unit of flow in terms of volume per unit time, usually in relation to the flow of water. The definition of a miner's inch varies by location. In hydraulic mining and some forms of placer mining, as well as ore dressing, a large and regular supply of water is needed. The miner's inch is a method of measuring the amount of flow a particular water supply system (such as a flume or sluice) is capable of supplying. The miner’s inch measures the amount of water that would flow through a slot of a given area at a given pressure (for example, at a head of 6 inches of water, or 1.5 kPa). In miner's inch he word inch refers to the area of the slot in square inches, while in the pressure in inches of water it refers to the height of water above the slot. A variable-width slot can be used to modify the flow rate. (en)
