1、Designation: C1039 85 (Reapproved 2015) An American National StandardStandard Test Methods forApparent Porosity, Apparent Specific Gravity, and BulkDensity of Graphite Electrodes1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C1039; the number immediately following the designation indicates the

2、 year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 These test methods cover the determination of appar

3、entporosity, apparent specific gravity, and bulk density of corestaken from graphite electrodes manufactured for use in electricarc furnaces. (See also C559 and C838.)1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.3 This

Closeand seal the vessel and pump down at least to 133 Pa (1 mmHg) and maintain this pressure for 30 min.7.2.2 Slowly introduce water (preferably distill

17、ed water)until the specimens are covered with at least 40 mm of water.Continue to pump for an additional 5 min.NOTE 1Sufficient water must be provided above the specimens tosupply enough water to fill the open pores of the specimens duringpressurization. If after pressurization, one or more specimen

18、s are exposedto air above the water, these specimens must be dried and process repeated(7.1.1).7.2.3 After the evacuation process is completed, close thevacuum line and introduce air pressure. Pressurize to 207 kPa6 7 kPa gauge pressure and hold for 4 h. Following this periodof time return the vesse

The specimens can be transferred through airbut the transfer must be made quickly. Following the weighing,each specimen should be returned to a separate container ofwater

21、or the saturated weight, W, should be obtained immedi-ately according to 7.4.7.4 Determination of Saturated Weight, W:7.4.1 After determining the suspended weight, blot eachspecimen lightly with a moistened smooth linen or cotton clothto remove all drops of water from the surface and weigh in air,to

22、 the nearest 0.1 g, to obtain the saturated weight, W. The clothmust be prepared by previously saturating it with water andthen pressing only enough to remove the water which woulddrip from the cloth. Avoid excessive blotting or rubbing whichwill remove water from the pores of the specimen.8. Calcul
