Abstract
The performance of particulate solids storage and handling equipment is dependent on the interaction of the bulk properties of the solids, e.g. bulk density, internal friction and shear strength, and the equipment geometry and materials of construction. Measuring the solids materials' characteristics allows knowledge-based decisions to be made to establish correct equipment design for storage and handling. Interfacing storage and feeding devices also requires careful consideration to ensure reliable material flow through the process.
