Research on Quick Measurement Method for the Flow Moisture Point of Shipping Liquefiable Solid Bulk Cargoes

Article Preview

Abstract:

Along with the development of economy in our country, the category of the shipping liquefiable solid bulk cargoes is changing, and the volume of transport by ship is increasing. However, lots of accidents on shipping liquefiable solid bulk cargoes occurred in recent years, causing heavy casualties and property losses. To reduce the accident probability, the paper creatively introduces liquid-plastic limit combined method used in the soil test to the quick measurement of the flow moisture point before shipment. By comparing the test results of this method with the flow table method’s, the paper demonstrates the feasibility of this method for the quick measurement of the flow moisture point of shipping liquefiable solid bulk cargoes. Finally, the paper gives some relevant suggestions for subsequent research.
