figuring Coal Costs
f
^Taess charts help convert coal prices
JjS'Jao Into cento per million But so fuels w.iiBercnt heating vslue may be compiled. jMwipJe.* Find the Btu cost of coal listed
30 40 SO 60 Differential price, cents per ton (2000<b)
at |d per ton il it hat a besting value of 12,000 Btu per lb. In npptt graph, find 96 on hornontel scale. Read up to intersect 12,000 Btu line. Between slanted lines read 25 cents per million Blu.
Example: Cool A, 13,000 Btu per lb, coils 2c per million Btu more than coal B, 12,000 Blu per lb. In lower graph find
70
(he tlsnt line for 2e, follow down to inter
sect with 13,000 Btu to read 52c per ton
on lower scale. This means A is 52e too
high to equal cost of B. Conversely, find
intersection of 2o with 12,000 Blu to reed
48e per ton. This means B could rise 48c
lo equal cost of coil A.
