Friability performance data in terms of percentage of fines content by weight as follows:

Stress I Stress II
As Produced Generated Total Generated Total
0.4% 2.4% 2.8% 3.7% 4.1%

Flowability: As determined by the SUDIC method S9-77, “Calculation of the Flowability of Formed Sulfur Products,”
the following point score applies: 89 Points

Retained Water: a) Encapsulated (essentially permanent): 0.2% maximum

b) Surface adherent (slow disengagement): 1.8%
c) Free (rapid disengagement): 1.0%

It is projected that rapid disengagement water will be reduced to 0.25% in actual operations.
Static Angle of Repose 29 + 1.5°.
