For binary solid mixtures, the mixture just‐suspended speed is predicted with reasonable accuracy from the sum of powers to suspend the solids individually. Exceptions to this behaviour occur for mixtures of low‐density solids and for mixtures involving a small, high‐density solid. For these systems, summing the powers required to individually suspend the solids over‐predicts the mixture just‐suspended speed. Limited testing of ternary solid mixtures indicates that summing the powers required to individually suspend the solids also predicts the just‐suspended speed in these more complex systems.
