What a useful centrifuge pilot trial should measure
A pilot trial should explain whether the proposed separation works, under which conditions it works and which uncertainties remain.

Trials & performance evidence
Design tests that answer a purchase decision. Representative samples, repeat measurements and consistent balances make results easier to assess and scale.

Why a laboratory tube result is not an industrial capacity rating
A laboratory centrifuge can reveal whether a material responds to centrifugal separation, but it does not reproduce every industrial loading and discharge condition.
