To investigate the formation and growth of solid bridges between urea particles, the changes in the contact region between two discrete particles are measured. The work is carried out using a Double‐Particle‐System (DPS). The DPS was stored in a climatic chamber. The effect of load, temperature, relative humidity, and storage time on the formation of a bridge between these particles was analyzed. The objective was to describe the geometrical changes in the contact region and to measure the strength of the resulting interparticle bridge.
