Hardgrove Grindability Index (short HGI) is a measure for the grindability of coal. Grindability is an index, therefore it has no unit. The smaller the HGI, the harder is coal texture and less grindable is the coal. Grindability is an important factor for the design a coal mill.

The Hardgrove Grindability Index Primary Reference Material (HGI-RM) is a sample of coal used to calibrate instruments that are designed to determine the ease with which coal can be pulverized. The HGI value provides information for determining grinding power consumption and pulverizer capacities.

Jan 5, 2023 · The HGI is on a scale from 30 to 100. High numbers are easy to grind; low numbers are difficult to grind. HGI is related to rank, moisture content, and ash (mineral) content (Sinha et al., 1962; Stach and others, 1982; Suárez-Ruiz and Crelling, 2008).

The Hardgrove Grindability Index (HGI) is a measure of coal’s resistance to crushing. Grinding studies, and the resulting HGI, allow many different types of coal users to evaluate how coals will perform in their mills, allowing them to estimate grinding power requirements and …

Apr 15, 1979 · Hardgrove Grindability Index ( HGI ) from the experimental values of mass of the coal particles over 75-micron sieve has been introduced. Minor modifications have also been made in the diameter of the steel balls.

The Hardgrove Grindability Index (HGI) was developed to empirically indicate how difficult it would be to grind coal particles to a size suitable for effective combustion. The HGI test involves grinding a coal sample and measuring the percentage of particles less than 75 microns. Coals with higher HGI values are easier to grind.

May 1, 2013 · The document discusses the Hardgrove Grindability Index (HGI) test method for determining the grindability of coal. It describes how the HGI test works, factors that influence grindability values, and the effects of coal blending on HGI values.

Jan 1, 2019 · The Hardgrove Grindability Index (HGI) is a measure of coal’s resistance to crushing. HGI is influenced by many factors due to the complex structure of coal.

Mar 15, 2025 · The Hardgrove grindability index (HGI) is a crucial indicator for assessing the grindability of coal, and accurate prediction of HGI is essential for improving the production efficiency and economic benefits of the coal industry.
