MSC 85/26/Add.2ANNEX 3Page 334I:\MSC\85\26-Add-2.docWith repeated action of the flow table, the sample continues to slump and to flowoutwards. In certain materials, cracks may also develop on the top surface.Cracking, with the appearance of free moisture, is not, however, an indication ofdevelopment of a flow state. In most cases, measurement of the deformation ishelpful in deciding whether or not plastic flow has occurred. A template which,for example, will indicate an increase in diameter of up to 3 mm in any part of thecone is a useful guide for this purpose. Some additional observations may beuseful. For example: when the (increasing) moisture content is approachingthe FMP, the sample cone begins to show a tendency to stick to the mould.Further, when the sample is pushed off the table, the sample may leave tracks(stripes) of moisture on the table. If such stripes are seen, the moisture contentmay be above the FMP: the absence of tracks (stripes) is not necessarily anindication of being below the FMP.Measuring the diameter of the cone, at the base or at half height, will always beuseful. By addition of water in increments of 0.4% to 0.5% and applying 25 dropsof the flow table, the first diameter increase will generally be between 1 and 5 mmand after a further increment of water the base diameter will have expandedby between 5 and 10 mm..4 As an alternative to the procedure described above, for many concentrates a fastway of finding the approximate FMP is as follows:When the moisture content is definitely beyond the FMP, measure the diameterafter 25 drops, repeat the test after adding a further increment of water, measurethe diameter and draw a diagram as illustrated in figure 1.1.4-1, showing increasein diameter plotted against moisture content. A straight line drawn through thetwo points will cross the moisture content axis close to the FMP.Having completed the preliminary FMP test, the sample for the main test is adjusted to therequired level of moisture content (about 1% to 2%) below the flow point.1.1.4.3 Main flow moisture testWhen a flow state has been reached in the preliminary test, the moisture content ofsub-sample (C) is adjusted to about 1% to 2% less than the last value which did not cause flow inthe preliminary test (this is suggested simply to avoid starting the main test too close to the FMPand then having to waste time air-drying it and starting again). The final test is then carried outon this adjusted sample in the same manner as for the preliminary test, but in this case with theaddition of water in increments of no more than 0.5% of the mass of the test material (the lowerthe “preliminary” FMP, the smaller the increments should be). After each stage, the wholemoulded sample should be placed in a container, weighed immediately and retained for moisturedetermination if required. This will be necessary if the sample flowed or if the next, slightlywetter, sample flows. If not required it may be returned to the mixing bowl.When a flow state has been reached, the moisture content should be determined on two samples,one with moisture content just above the FMP and the other with moisture content just below theFMP. The difference between the two values should then be 0.5% or less, and the FMP is takenas the mean of these two values.
