The Influence of Bulk Density Measurements on Stockpile Capacity Estimation
Stockpiles are some of the most common means of storing large quantities of bulk materials in industry sectors including mining and steelmaking plants, as well as in the fertiliser industry, ports, and others. They are normally used for surge capacity either to store material that will be processed later or to account for differences in throughputs along the handling chain. In this article TUNRA Bulk Solids explain the important considerations when determining bulk density, the difference between bulk density and compressibility, the development of improved testing methods and application to stockpile mass estimation for inventory purposes.
