Variability of mass and resistance to compression of calcium fertilizer granules
Variability of mass and compressive strength of Ca fertilizer granules produced com. in Poland was studied. Mass of granules varied in the range 1-281 mg and its dispersion was highest for smallest granules (fraction 1.0-2.0 mm). The lowest and highest recorded values of compressive strength were 5 N and 200 N, resp. Coeffs. of variation of the compressive strength varied in the range 25.1-57.3%. Linear regression models were fitted for relationships of granule compressive strength on mass and mass on granule diam.
