Abstract :The mash bean (Phaseolus aureus L.) seeds were analyzed for physical properties. Physical properties such as length, width, thickness, weight, geometric mean diameter, sphericity, volume, thousand seed weight, bulk density, terminal velocity, projected area and porosity were measured at four moisture content levels (6.66 %, 11.00 %, 15.24 % and 18.59 %). Also the coefficient of static friction on iron sheet and galvanized iron sheet were determined. The values of length, width, thickness, mass, geometric mean diameter, sphericity, volume, 1000 seed weight, bulk density, terminal velocity, projected area and porosity were found as 4.45-4.95 mm, 3.84-4.00 mm, 3.81-4.08 mm, 0.048-0.070 g, 4.02-4.30 mm, 0.906-0.870, 30.37-34.95 mm3, 49.2-60.1 g, 771.3-679.1 kg m-3,6.22-6.54 ms-1, 0.140-0.213 cm2 and 35.08- 47.1%, respectively. The coefficient of static friction increased from 0.270 to 0.322 and 0.302 to 0.367 for galvanized iron sheet and iron sheet respectively.Keywords : Maş fasulyesi, Phaseolus aureus, fiziksel özellikler
