Calculate Final Size After Shrinkage



Formula

The formula to calculate the Final Size (FS) after shrinkage is:

\[ FS = OS - (OS \cdot \frac{SR}{100}) \]

Where:

Definitions

Example

Let's say the original size (OS) is 10 inches and the shrinkage rate (SR) is 12%. Using the formula:

\[ FS = 10 - (10 \cdot \frac{12}{100}) \]

We get:

\[ FS = 8.80 \text{ inches} \]

So, the final size of the pottery piece is approximately 8.80 inches.
