In open-pit blast, it is very important to know the muck pile fragmentation formed as a result of the blast to be used in terms of blasting efficiency. Researchers have developed many image analysis software that predicts the muck pile fragmentation before blasting. [IPACS by Dahlheim (1996); Tucips by Havermann and Vogt (1996); Fragscan by Schleifer and Tessier (1996); Cias by Downs and Kettunen (1996); GoldSize by Kleine and Cameron (1996); Wipfrag by Maerz et al., (1996); Split Desktop by Kemeny (1994); PowerSieve by Chung and Noy (1996) and Fragalyst by Raina et al., (2002)]. The most popular of these is Wipfrag image analysis software. In this method, the size limits of the fragments forming the material are determined by image analysis on photographs of the muck pile. It is known from the literature that there is an inverse correlation between the pile density and the muck pile fragmentation as a result of blasting. In this study, 12 blast tests were carried out in a limestone quarry. First of all, the muck pile fragmentation values of the tests were determined by using Wipfrag image analysis software. Afterwards, the pile density values of all the material formed as a result of the blasting were determined by using the truck chassis volumes and truck scale weight parameters. Finally, a correlation relationship was established between the obtained muck pile fragmentation values and the pile density values, and it was seen that meaningless results were obtained.
