 Six methods of testing for the transportable moisture limit are currently in general use:

  • .1 flow table test;

  • .2 penetration test; and

As each method has its advantages, the selection of the test method should be determined by local practices or by the appropriate authorities.

  • .4 Modified Proctor/Fagerberg test procedure for iron ore fines; and

  • .5 Modified Proctor/Fagerberg test procedure for coal; and
