The Schulze Ring Shear Tester (RST) is used to measure flow functions of solids on designing or evaluating a silo. A standard shear rate for the Schulze RST has been set at 1.5mm/min. In this article, the Schulze RST shear tests with different shear rates (0.375, 1.5, 3, and 6mm/min) have been done for different solids. The shear test results have shown that changing shear rates significantly impacts flow functions under time consolidations for soft and/or sticky pellets.
