3.1 flow moisture point
percentage or moisture at which a flow state is reached
transportable moisture limit
maximum percentage of moisture that a cargo can contain duflng transport without the risk of liquefaction
4 PrincIple
The moisture content of the sample ii adjusted by mixing with water, The mixture Is converted to a conical shape using a mould and tamper. The sample is placed on the flow table and the mould Is removed. The flow characteristics are determined by repeated dropping of the flow tle while observing the behaviour of the sample. When sufficient water has been added to the sample so that.BS ISO 12742 pdf download.
