Summary:The article analyzes indexes that characterize properties of coal seams and are used in calculation of loads on cutting tools of mining machines, or in selection of drives. Determination of geological structure complexity of coal seams takes into account hard inclusions and dirt bands in coal, as well as their size and lithology type. The notion of coal cuttability in spalled and unspalled face zones is explained using the coefficient of coal spalling. For strength estimation of complex structure coal seams with dirt bands and hard inclusions, it is proposed to use the index of integral cuttability which is the sum of coal cuttability and generalized index of densities and properties of inhomogeneities in the seam. In geological documentation, strength characteristics of inhomogeneities are described using the ultimate compression strength or Protodyakonov factor of hardness (in Russia). For this reason, the authors propose an empirical expression to recalculate cuttability of inhomogeneities in terms of uniaxial compression strength or hardness factor. The estimation algorithms of brittleness, grindability and breakability of coal seams are presented. The formula of coal abrasiveness is given. Systematization of data on breakability of coal seams has made a framework for classification of coal seams as media disintegrated by cutting tools of mining machines.
