GRINDABILITY OF MATERIALS

Haese (1955) grindability is defined as the relation of specific surface increase (cm2/g, determined using the Blaine test) to energy expense (Jig of kWh/g). The customary units of measure for grindability are cm2/J or cm2/kWh. Grinding resistance is the reciprocal of grindability, the customary unit of measure being ergjcm2•

Hardgrove Grindability Index (HGI)

The Hardgrove Grindability Index (HGI) is a measure of coal's resistance to crushing. Grinding studies, and the resulting HGI, allow many different types of coal users to evaluate how coals will perform in their mills, allowing them to estimate grinding power requirements and throughput capacities.
