This standard defines terminology, test procedures, and classification criteria that are fundamental to the proper selection and design of bulk material handling equipment. It includes detailed definitions, material characterization methods, and classification tables that help engineers evaluate how bulk materials behave under various handling conditions. These classifications are essential for determining conveyor type, size, capacity, and operating parameters.
ANSI/CEMA 550 is a foundational reference used across the bulk material handling industry and supports consistent communication, design decisions, and equipment selection involving a wide range of bulk materials.
The revisions in this version include: adding metric conversions, updating the Bulk Density in Chapter III, Table 7, adding a table on how to read the CEMA Material Code, and updates to the bibliographic references.
