✦ Synopsis

The authors determined the avalanching behaviour of two coal types, one of good and the other of poor handleability characteristics. This revealed significant differences in the nature of flow of the coals. The criteria established will now enable a structured study of the variables that affect handleability and also permit industrial consumers of coal to specify minimum acceptable limits for its transport characteristics.
