Setting the Standard for Iron Ore Fines Safety

Modified Proctor & Fagerberg Test

  • The MPFT differs from traditional tests like the Flow Table Test (FTT) by applying lower compaction energy, simulating the conditions experienced by iron ore fines during transport more accurately. This often results in a slightly higher TML compared to other methods, allowing for a more realistic assessment of the cargo's stability.

  • Our commitment to precision and compliance is evident in our meticulous execution of the MPFT. We use state-of-the-art equipment and adhere to strict international standards, ensuring that your test results are reliable and informative. By choosing eDOT Marine for your MPFT needs, you're choosing a partner who prioritizes safety and accuracy in iron ore fines testing.

Our Approach:

  • The Modified Proctor & Fagerberg Test (MPFT) is a specialized test designed specifically for iron ore fines. It's a critical tool in accurately determining the Transportable Moisture Limit (TML) of these cargoes, ensuring they are safe for sea transport and minimizing the risk of liquefaction.

  • eDOT Marine Laboratory was the first in India to adopt and implement the MPFT, recognizing its importance in enhancing the safety of iron ore fines shipping.
