In coal quantity verification, bulk density measurement is a critical factor influencing volume conversion accuracy. Due to variations in coal particle size, moisture content, storage methods, sampling locations, and measurement techniques, bulk density results are prone to deviation, leading to discrepancies between verified quantities and actual quantities. This study analyzes coal bulk density measurement methodologies, focusing on the mechanisms underlying deviations under different conditions and their impact on verification outcomes. It proposes control measures – including standardized sampling procedures, unified measurement protocols, and enhanced verification processes – to enhance measurement accuracy and reduce trade disputes.
