Les lois de la sédimentation permettent enfin de juger l'aptitude à la séparation de particules de dimensions identiques, mais de densité différente. Le critère de Taggart, basé sur les conditions d'équivalence en régime turbulent, s'écrit : critère de Taggart = (d1-p)/(d2-p) [où] p = densité du fluide; d1 = densité du minéral lourd; d2 = densité du minéral léger.
