medium, and 12 percent coarse, the particle fineness of the material is calculated as: Fineness = (66 x 1) + (22 x 0.4) + (12 x 0.1) = 76 percent Effective calcium carbonate equivalent (ECCE) is the measure of the effectiveness of liming materials and is calcu - lated as the product of the purity value (CCE) and the fineness value divided by 100
