Several metrics are provided to characterise the partition curve.

The , also known as the cut or separation size, is defined as the size of a particle which has an even (50%) chance of appearing in either the underflow or overflow stream. The size is estimated via a log-linear interpolation of geometric mean size () against the uncorrected partition to underflow of all solids in the feed.

The Ecart Probable, or , is a measure of the deviation of a partition curve from a perfect separation, and is typically defined for size classification as:[1]

where and are the sizes of particles which have a 75% and 25% probability, respectively, of appearing in the underflow stream. The and sizes are estimated by log-linear interpolation of geometric mean size against the uncorrected partition to underflow of all solids in the feed.

The Imperfection, , is a normalised measure of the sharpness of separation, which is suggested to be independent of the magnitude of the , and is typically defined for size classification as:[1]
