1、Designation: B417 11Standard Test Method forApparent Density of Non-Free-Flowing Metal Powders Usingthe Carney Funnel1This standard is issued under the fixed designation B417; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the yea

2、r 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. Scope*1.1 This test method covers a procedure for determining theapparent density of non-free-flowing metal powders. It is

3、designed for those metal powders that do not freely flowthrough the Hall flowmeter funnel.1.2 With the exception of the values for density and themass used to determine density, for which the use of the gramper cubic centimeter (g/cm3) and gram (g) units is the long-standing industry practice, the v

4、alues in inch-pound units are tobe regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses aremathematical conversions to SI units that are provided forinformation only, and are not considered standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its

5、 use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

7、e under controlled conditions. The mass ofpowder per unit volume is determined and reported as apparentdensity, Carney (ADC)5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method provides a guide for evaluation of animportant physical characteristic of a powder known as theapparent density. The measured appare

8、nt density bears arelationship to the mass of powder that will fill a fixed volumedie cavity. The degree of correlation between the results of thistest and the performance of powders during use may vary witheach particular application. Note, however, that the presence ofmoisture, oils, stearic acid,

9、 stearates, waxes, and the tempera-ture of the powder mass may alter the physical characteristicsof the powder.6.

Test Specimen7.1 The test portion shall consist of a volume of approxi-mately 30 to 40 cm3of metal powder obtained in accordancewith Practices B215.7.2 The test portion shall be tested as sampled. Note,however, that temperature, moisture,

17、oils, stearic acid, stear-ates, waxes, and so forth may alter the characteristics of thepowder.8. Procedure8.1 Weigh the empty density cup to the nearest 0.01 g or,alternatively, place the empty density cup on the balance andtare the balance to zero.8.2 Load the test specimen carefully into the flow

18、meterfunnel and permit it to run into the density cup through thedischarge orifice. If necessary, it may be agitated or pushed byuse of the length of wire but take care to prevent the wire fromentering the density cup. The density cup should not be movedduring the filling operation.8.3 When the powd

19、er completely fills and overflows theperiphery of the density cup, rotate the funnel approximately90 in a horizontal plane so that the remaining powder fallsaway from the cup.8.4 Using a nonmagnetic spatula, or straight edge, with theblade held perpendicular to the top of the cup, level off thepowde

20、r flush with the top of the density cup. Take care to avoidjarring the apparatus at any time.8.5 After the leveling operation, tap the density cup lightlyon the side to settle the powder to avoid spilling in transfer.8.6 Transfer the filled density cup to the balance and weighto the nearest 0.01 g t

21、o determine the mass (M) of powder.8.7 More than one apparent density test may be run ifdesired. Use a fresh test portion of powder for each test.Average the apparent density values.9. Calculation9.1 Calculate the apparent density as follows:Apparent density ADc, g/cm35 M/V (1)where:M = mass of powd

23、erlaboratory test.Results obtained by eight laboratories testing a sample of tinpowder suggest the following:11.1.1 Repeatability r = 1 % (tin powder)Duplicateanalysis of a tin powder by the same operator and sameapparatus should not differ by more than 1 % at the 95 %confidence level.11.1.2 Reprodu

24、cibilityR=4%(tin powder)The differ-ence between two single and independent results obtained bydifferent operators working in different laboratories on tinpowder should not differ by more than 4 % at the 95 %confidence level.11.1.3 Measurement Uncertainty The precision of TestMethod B417 shall be con

25、sidered by those performing the testwhen reporting Carney apparent density test results.11.2 BiasNo information can be presented on the bias ofthe procedures in Test Methods B417 for measuring the Carneyapparent density because no material having an acceptedreference value is available.12.
