Levin Grindability Index Test Method & Procedure
The Ball Mill Grindability of ores is generally determined by the Bond standard grindability index test method. However, this test and procedure is not applicable to fine materials such as sands; the grindability of fine materials must therefore be determined by a comparative grinding method, for which a reference material of know grindability is required.

The theoretical basis of Bond work index to measure ore grindability is Bond's ore crushing crack theory [24,25,26]. According to the standard Bond test requirements, the bond work index test of raw materials and pre-enriched adopted a Φ305 × 305 mm standard work index ball mill, and the mill cylinder was smooth without lining.

Secrets of the Bond Ball mill grindability test
The ball mill grindability test sometimes referred to as the Bond test was developed in the 1930s by the Allis Chalmers company to help them perform ore hardness characterisation testing to assist in industrial mill sizing Maxson et al, (1933). It was extended by Bond (1952) to provide a work index result that was empirically calibrated
