Salvage sorting workload
Estimate sequential identification, inspection and cataloging effort for a material lot.
How it is calculated
Work seconds = items × (identification seconds + inspection seconds + retained fraction × cataloging seconds). Elapsed hours = work seconds ÷ 3,600 ÷ workers.

Planning estimates only. Defaults are illustrative, not personalized recommendations. Do not use these calculations as medical, structural, electrical installation or other safety certification.
