Abstract
Caking properties of 22 black coal samples were studied for the purpose of determining a connection between the free swelling index SI and the stage of coal metamorphism (Ro.r). It was established that SI changes in the sequence of metamorphism of coal samples under study along a curve with the maximum in the region of Ro.r = 0.81-1.00 %. It was shown that SI increases linearly with an increase in the thickness of the plastic layer within the range у = 4-22 mm. The obtained correlation equation can be used to determine the calculated values of the free swelling index SI for coal with у < 22 mm.
