Transportable Moisture Limit Tester

The Transportable Moisture Limit (TML) is the maximum moisture content of a cargo that is considered safe for transportation. It defines the limit beyond which the cargo may liquefy during shipment.

Shipper must provide certification of :

• Transportable Moisture Limit (TML)
• Actual moisture content (MC)

Certification validity :

• Must not be older than 7 days

Cargo safety conditions :

• If MC < TML → Safe for transport
• If MC ≥ TML → Unsafe for transport

If certificate is older than 7 days :

• Moisture test must be repeated
• New approved certificate required before loading

• Maritime transport of bulk cargo
• Shipping safety assessments
• Handling of moisture-sensitive materials (e.g., ores, concentrates)

Power supply :

• 220V ± 10% – 50/60Hz

Weight :

• App. 38 kgs

Noise emission :

• ±80 dB(A)

Ambient temperature :

• 5°C – 40°C

Atmospheric humidity :

• < 85% RH

TML formula :

• TML = 90% of Flow Moisture Point (FMP)

Determination methods :

• Flow table test
• Other approved test methods

• Indicates safe moisture level for cargo transport
• Based on flow moisture point (FMP)
• Helps prevent cargo liquefaction during shipping
• Can be calculated if FMP and moisture content (MC) are known
