Grindability an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
In the Hardgrove Grindability test, 50 g of a limited particle size range (16 #215; 30 mesh, or mm #215; 600 m) of coal is ground in a ball mill for 60 revolutions. The resulting coal is sized and the weight of the (lt;200 mesh) product is recorded and, by calibration to a reference coal, used in the calculation of the Hardgrove Grindability Index (HGI).
