Hardgrove Grindability Index (ASTM D409 Standard)

Grindability is an important factor for the characteristic of the brittle raw materials by the design the mills. As grindability depends on many unknown factors, hardgrove grindability index (HGI) is determined empirically using a sample mill, according to the following procedure. The device to measure the hardgrove grindability consists of a top rotating ring with eight balls of 1 in. (25.4 mm) diameter.

Grindability as a material characteristic must indicate the suitability for size reduction. Its value has to give the result of the grinding operation as a result of unit energy expenditure. And here we meet a difficulty: the result of the operation is a new particle size distribution which cannot be described by a single value. Therefore the grindability cannot be charaterized as a difference or quotient of two numbers.

Zusätzlich benötigen die einzelnen Disziplinen ein elektronisches Risikoscreening (Dysphagie) der Gesamtmedikation in der Apotheke sowie Informationen zur Galenik und Fakten zur Mörserbarkeit, Teilbarkeit und Sondengängigkeit von Tabletten.

Additionally, the mentioned disciplines require an online risk screening (for dysphagia) of the pharmacist concerning the overall medication as well as information of galenic properties like facts regarding the possibility of crushing, portioning or tube feeding of the prescribed medication.

Dysphagia is a common concern, especially in the last several days of life. Medications are often crushed for ease of administration for individuals with swallowing difficulty. OBJECTIVES: To assess palatability of commonly used crushed over-the-counter (OTC) medications. A secondary objective is to evaluate pharmacist knowledge and opinions of crushing medications. METHODS: Pharmacist participants sampled crushed OTC medications and completed pre- and post-sampling surveys about crushing medications.

In certain circumstances tablets may need to be crushed or capsules opened, but crushing a tablet or removing powder or granules from a capsule might affect the way a medicine works and may even cause side effects.

... slow-release and foul-tasting tablets; determine the crushability of medication before proceeding, and phone the pharmacy if you are unsure.

In other words, the phrase in the sentence is asking: is it possible to crush, in this case solid drugs, as tablets, dragees, etc.?

The main problem I see here is the translation of 'Mörser-barkeit' (and in the whole sentence Sondengäng-igkeit) what many people wrongly translate as 'ability'.

In addition, do you really think that a big pharmaceutical company would be using a morser or whatever is used to crush tablets?

I hope this helps you "Asker" in the first place.

Don't mix it with 'crashability' because I will get 'laughability' :)

I meant to say... Don't mix with having a crush (crushability) on someone....
