1、Designation: B417 11B417 13Standard 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,

2、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. Scope*1.1 This test method covers a procedure for determining the apparent density of non-free-flowing metal powder

3、s. It is designedfor those metal powders that do not freely flow through the Hall flowmeter funnel.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 cubiccentimeter (g/cm3) and gram (g) units is the longstanding industry practi

4、ce, the values in inch-pound units are to be regarded asstandard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only, and arenot considered standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associat

5、ed with its use. It is the responsibilityof the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatorylimitations prior to use.2.

Terminology3.1 DefinitionsTerms in Terminology B243 are applicable to this test method.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 A volume of powder is permitted to flow into a container of d

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

8、 measured apparent density bears a relationship to the mass of powder that will fill a fixed volume die cavity. Thedegree of correlation between the results of this test and the performance of powders during use may vary with each particularapplication. Note, however, that the presence of moisture,

9、oils, stearic acid, stearates, waxes, and the temperature of the powdermass may alter the physical characteristics of the powder.6.

The actual cup volume shall be determinedaccording to Test Method B873. If the measured volume of the cup is outside the tolerance in Fig. 2 (25 6 0.03 cm3) the cup shalln

16、ot be used.6.3 StandAstand (Fig. 1) to support the powder funnel concentric with the density cup so that the bottom of the powder funnelis approximately 25 mm (1 in.) above the top of the density cup when the apparatus is assembled as shown in Fig. 1.6.4 WorkbenchA level, vibration-free table or wor

18、 straight edge of suitable dimensions for leveling off the excess powderon top of the density cup.7. Test Specimen7.1 The test portion shall consist of a volume of approximately 30 to 40 cm3 of metal powder obtained in accordance withPractices B215.FIG. 1 Carney Flowmeter Funnel and StandFIG. 2 Dens

19、ity Cup (25 6 0.03 cm3)B417 1327.2 The test portion shall be tested as sampled. Note, however, that temperature, moisture, oils, stearic acid, stearates, waxes,and so forth may alter the characteristics of the powder.8. Procedure8.1 Weigh the empty density cup to the nearest 0.01 g or, alternatively

20、, place the empty density cup on the balance and tare thebalance to zero.8.2 Load the test specimen carefully into the flowmeter funnel and permit it to run into the density cup through the dischargeorifice. If necessary, it may be agitated or pushed by use of the length of wire but take care to pre

21、vent the wire from entering thedensity cup. The density cup should not be moved during the filling operation.8.3 When the powder completely fills and overflows the periphery of the density cup, rotate the funnel approximately 90 ina horizontal plane so that the remaining powder falls away from the c

22、up.8.4 Using a nonmagnetic spatula, or straight edge, with the blade held perpendicular to the top of the cup, level off the powderflush with the top of the density cup. Take care to avoid jarring the apparatus at any time.8.5 After the leveling operation, tap the density cup lightly on the side to

23、settle the powder to avoid spilling in transfer.8.6 Transfer the filled density cup to the balance and weigh to the nearest 0.01 g to determine the mass (M) of powder.8.7 More than one apparent density test may be run if desired. Use a fresh test portion of powder for each test. Average theapparent

24、density values.9.
