3、ers determination of the apparent density of metal powders and related compounds using the ScottVolumeter, also known as the Paint Pigment Volumeter.1.2 With the exception of the values for density and the mass used to determine density, for which the use of the gram per cubiccentimetre (g/cm3) and

4、gram (g) units is the longstanding industry practice, the values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibilityof the user of this standard to establish appropria

20、minimum of 25 cm3 of powder for the square cup and 35 cm3 of powder for the cylindrical cup will be needed.7. Calibration and Standardization7.1 The density cups shall be calibrated in accordance with Test Method B873. If the density cup falls outside acceptabletolerance limits, 25.00 6 0.03 cm3 for

Procedure8.1 Tare or preweigh the density cup.8.2 Pour the powder being tested carefully into the top receiving funnel and permit the powder to run into the density cup

22、.Completely fill the density cup to overflowing or fill to overflowing and form a mound of powder above the top of the density cup.If the powder is not free-flowing, carefully brush the sample through the top receiving funnel screen without jarring the volumeter.Jarring of the volumeter could result

23、 in packing of the powder in the density cups, thus giving erroneously high values.FIG. 1 Density Apparatus AssemblyB329 1828.3 Remove the excess powder in the density cup by passing the edge of the spatula blade parallel to, and in contact with, thetop of the cup. Move the spatula smoothly along th

24、e top surface of the cup and back again until all excess powder has beenremoved, special care being taken to direct the excess powder into the unfilled areas of the cup. It is important that the spatula bekept level at all times to prevent packing or pulling out of the powder. Perform the completed

25、leveling operation to produce auniform powder surface perfectly level with the top of the density cup.8.4 After the leveling operation, lightly tap the side of the density cup to settle the powder to avoid spilling while transferringthe cup to the balance for weighing.8.5 Determine the mass of the p
