Resistance values
In the context of bulk material sampling, resistance values can indicate various aspects of the process. Here are some possible applications:
- Material hardness and abrasion resistance: The resistance that a material offers to the sampling device can be an indicator of its hardness and abrasion resistance. Bulk materials that are very hard or abrasion resistant may cause more wear and tear on the sampling device and may require special equipment or techniques for sampling.
- Sampling device performance: The resistance experienced by the sampler when collecting a sample can provide information about its performance. An unexpectedly high resistance could indicate a problem with the device, for example, a blockage or a mechanical failure.
- Moisture content: For some types of bulk material, resistance may also be related to the moisture content of the material. Moist materials can offer more resistance than drier materials, which must be taken into account when interpreting sample results.
It should be noted that these interpretations of resistance values are highly dependent on the specific properties of the bulk material and the sampling techniques used. When in doubt, it is always advisable to seek the advice of an expert.
