In above table, weights are expressed as ounces avoirdupois. To express as ounces Troy (for gold, silver, palladium, platinum, and rhodium) multiply the weight given in ounces Avoirdupois by 0.91146.

The current efficiency of a process may vary according to the operating conditins and the solution composition. The figures given in columns 2 to 6, are based on a current efficiency of 100 per cent, and in using these tables correction must be made for the actual process efficiency.

For information on current efficiency, reference should be made to the chapter dealing with the process under consideration. 

Column 6 is useful when calculating anode consumption.
