The Transportable Moisture Limit ...
Nickel ore is a cargo that may liquefy if the Moisture Content (MC) exceeds the Transportable Moisture Limit (TML). The point at which the cargo can begin to act like a liquid is when the Flow Moisture Point (FMP) is reached: a theoretical figure set at 90% of the FMP to create a 10% safety margin.

Transportable Moisture Limit as per the IMSBC Code, or as per customary and approved procedures by the competent authority of the load port. Implement an effective TML training program. Maintain an up to date list of facilities and staff who that are internally approved to conduct and report TML tests.
Transportable Moisture Limit (TML) of Iron Ore Bulk cargo by Flow Table Test Method When solid bulk cargoes, such as Iron ores contain high moisture, they get subjected to cyclic forces due to rise in pore water flow pressure, it results in steep rise in loss of strength of material to be held in definite shape and there is loss of stability of the cargo causing the …

Transportable Moisture Limit (TML) is a term used in the maritime shipping industry to denote the maximum moisture content in a bulk cargo that is safe to transport. When bulk cargo such as iron ore, coal, or grain is loaded onto a vessel, it is often in a finely ground form and may contain moisture.
