1Even where presented unrounded, data are thought to be accurate to no more than three significant digits. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
2Includes white cement plants and all plants (gray or white) that produced clinker for at least 1 day during the year. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
3Plants that can operate both wet and dry kilns, whether or not both types were active during the year. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
4Includes kilns active for at least 1 day during the year. For kilns idle all year, excludes those that cannot be restarted, fully permitted, in less than 6 months. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
5Sum of reported kiln capacities for all plants in a district. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
6Total days of routine maintenance (summed for all kilns) divided by the number of kilns. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
7Sum of apparent annual capacities for all kilns. For each kiln, the statistic is calculated as 366 days (leap year) minus days reported for routine maintenance and then multiplied by the unrounded daily capacity. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
8Contains estimates for some facilities and have been rounded to no more than three significant digits. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
9Includes one semiwet kiln. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
10Significantly unchanged from 2012, which should have read 4,880 instead of the 3,830 listed in the 2012 edition of table 5. The U.S. annual capacity total and district capacity utiliztion percentage for 2012, however,- | |||||||||||||||||||||||
were correct as listed. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
11May not add to totals shown because of independent rounding. |
