Agglomerating character

[Tina]

Agglomeration describes the caking properties of coal. Agglomerating character is determined by examination and testing of the residue when a small powdered sample is heated to 950 degrees Centigrade under specific conditions. If the sample is agglomerating, the residue will be coherent, show swelling or cell structure, and be capable of supporting a 500-gram weight without pulverizing.
