It has been shown (Ouchterlony 2015b) that force fitting the RR function to sieving
data can lead to spurious variations in the fitted n values and erroneous conclusions about how,
e.g., drill hole deviations influence the sieving curve or how the use of electronic detonators
influences crusher throughput. The Swebrec function was introduced by Ouchterlony (2005). It is
capable of reproducing sieving data really well from the fines range to large boulders, say from 0.5
to 500 mm or three orders of magnitude in fragment size. It has three parameters, x50, x100 =
xmax and b, i.e., two percentile sizes and a curve undulation exponent b. Recent work by
Sanchidria´n et al. (2014) shows that the Swebrec function is the overall best fitting three-
parameter function to sieving data for blasted or crushed rock. Ouchterlony (2005) suggested that
the RR function in the Kuz-Ram model be replaced by the Swebrec function to create the KCO
