Test Specimen6.1 The size of the test specimen shall be 90 to 110 g for anymetal powder having an apparent density greater than or equalto 1.50 g/cm3when determined in accordance with TestMethod B 212, B 329, B 417,orB 703.Aspecimen of 4

19、0 to 60g shall be used when the apparent density of the powder is lessthan 1.50 g/cm3. The test specimen should be obtained inaccordance with Practices B 215.7. Procedure7.1 Examine the sieves to make sure that they are notdamaged and are clean.7.2 Assemble the group of sieves selected in consecutiv

20、eorder by the size of their openings, with the coarsest sieve atthe top, the assembly being completed by a solid collecting panbelow the bottom sieve. Place the test specimen on the topsieve and close this sieve with a solid cover. Then fasten thesieve assembly securely in the sieve shaker and opera

21、te themachine for a period of 15 minutes.NOTE 3For some materials, for example brittle and friable materials,the 15 minutes may be too long. Sieving time may be adjusted for suchmaterials, and the actual time used should be reported along with the testdata.7.3 Remove the screened fractions from the

22、nest of sievesby removing the coarsest sieve from the nest, gently tapping itscontents to one side and pouring them upon a glazed paper.Brush any material adhering to the bottom surface of the sieveand the lower frame with a soft brush into the next finer sieve.Tap the sieve just removed upside down

23、, on the papercontaining the portion that had been retained on it, and brushthe back side of the sieve with the flat side of the brush so asto dislodge any particles that may have been wedged in thescreen openings, by pushing to the upper side of the screen.Weigh this fraction to the nearest 0.1 g a

24、nd remove it from thebalance. Repeat this process for each sieve in the nest. Removethe fraction collected in the pan and weigh. The sum of themasses of all the fractions shall be not less than 99 % of themass of the test specimen.Add the difference between this sumand the mass of the test specimen

25、(in accordance with Section6) to the mass of the fraction collected in the pan.NOTE 4If the sum is less than 99 %, check the condition of thescreens and the pan and also check for possible errors in weighing. Repeatthe test if error persists.8. Report8.1 Express the masses of the fractions retained

26、on eachsieve, and the mass of the fraction collected in the pan, aspercentages of the mass of the test specimen to the nearest0.1 %, and report them in the form shown in Table 2. Reportany fraction that is less than 0.1 % of the mass of the testspecimen as “trace.” If a fraction is absent, report it

27、 as “0.0”.Report the actual time period of sieving, if it is different than15 minutes.8.2 Interpretation of this report should be made with refer-ence to Specification E11in which the dimensional tolerancesof standard sieves are specified.9.

32、alpowders was run in 1993 and 1994 using the procedurescontained in MPIF Standard 05 (1992). Each of twelvelaboratories made three tests on four powder samples usingeach of two sets of sieves. One set of sieves was a standard setthat was circulated to each laboratory in turn. A second set ofsieves w

33、as chosen by each laboratory from its in-house sievestock. Practice E 691 was followed for the design and analysisof the data. The details are given in MPPA Research ReportMPPA R-05-95.39.1.2 There were five U.S. Series standard sieves in eachsieve nest: 80 mesh, 100 mesh, 140 mesh, 200 mesh, and 32

36、e in-housesieves. For in-house sieves R can be calculated from thefollowing equations:R 5 1.2 1 0.15 3 SF for SFfrom0to22 (2)R 5 4.5 for SF from 22.1 to 50 (3)where SF is the % retained on the sieve of interest.For circulated sieves (or by analogy matched sieves obtainedby two laboratories) R can be

37、 calculated from the followingequations:R 5 0.3 1 0.064 3 SF for SFfrom0to30 (4)R 5 2.2 for SF from 30.1 to 50 (5)Where SF is the % retained on the sieve of interest.9.1.6 Duplicate results from the same laboratory should beconsidered acceptable at the 95 % confidence level unless theydiffer by more

38、 than r, the repeatability interval.9.1.7 Duplicate results from the different laboratories shouldbe considered acceptable at the 95 % confidence level unlessthey differ by more than R, the reproducibility interval.9.2 BiasNo information can be presented on bias in TestMethod B 214 for sieve analysi

40、APPENDIXES(Nonmandatory Information)X1. CERTIFIED SIEVESMASTER SETX1.1 Sieves conforming to Specification E11 can beobtained from the sieve manufacturers, and arrangements canbe made through them to have the sieves certified by theNational Institute of Standards and Technology (formerly theNational

41、Bureau of Standards).5If used continually, the sieveswill, after a period of time, become less accurate and might nolonger be acceptable as certified sieves. The common practice,which would be considered acceptable according to thisstandard, would be to use the certified sieves as a master set forch

42、ecking other working sets of sieves. By comparing sievetests on the same sample, run in both the master set and theworking set, a factor can be established for correcting resultson the working sieves.X2. MATCHED SIEVESX2.1 The use of a matched set of sieves, establishedthrough use of a standard powd

43、er, is recommended when closercorrelation of tests between supplier and consumer is desired.5Contact the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, MD20899.B214073X3.
