1、Designation: B 703 05Standard Test Method forApparent Density of Powders Using Arnold Meter1This standard is issued under the fixed designation B 703; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A num

2、ber in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) 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 both free- and non-free-flowing powders,premixes, and blended

3、 mixes.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establ

4、ish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Terminology3.1 DefinitionsUseful definitions of terms for metal pow-

6、ders and powder metallurgy are found in Terminology B 243.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 Arnold Density MeterThis instrument enables theuser to determine the density of any powder or mix, whether ornot the powder has flow characteristics. It simulates the actionof the feed

7、shoe of the press. The values obtained on metalpowders are approximately 0.2 g/cm3higher than those ob-tained with the Hall, Test Method B 212; Carney, Test MethodB 417; or Scott, Test Method B 329, instruments.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method consists of slowly sliding a bushingpartial

8、ly filled with powder over a hole in a hardened steelblock, collecting and weighing the powder, and calculating itsapparent density.5. Significance and Use5.1 The apparent density is an important measure of amaterial characteristic inherent in the powder that is useful tothe powder producers and end

9、 users in determining lot to lotconsistency. Knowledge of the apparent density of the finalmix as obtained with this test method is very beneficial to thepowder metallurgy (P/M) parts fabricator for setting compres-sion ratios for fixed fill die cavities.5.2 This test method may be part of a purchas

10、e agreementbetween the powder supplier and P/M parts producer, or it maybe an internal quality control test for either party.6. Apparatus6.1 Steel Block3A hardened, tempered, and demagnetizedsteel block (60 HRC Min.) having a center hole 31.6640 60.0025 mm (1.2466 6 0.0001 in.) in diameter and a hei

12、 glazed orwaxed paper measuring approximately 150 by 150 mm square(6.0 by 6.0 in.).6.4 BalanceA balance having a capacity of at least 200 gsuitable for weighing to 0.01 g.7. Sampling7.1 Obtain a test sample in accordance with Practices B 215.7.2 The powder sample shall be of sufficient volume to fil

13、lthe bushing to about three quarters of its height.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee B09 on MetalPowders and Metal Powder Products and is the direct responsibility of Subcom-mittee B09.02 on Base Metal Powders.Current edition approved Oct. 1, 2005. Published October 2005.

Procedure9.1 Place the steel block on a sheet of preweighed or taredpaper.9.2 Place the bushing on the steel block, on either side of thehole.9.3 Fill the bu

18、shing slowly and carefully to three-quarters ofits height with powder. (An inscribed ring on the ID of thebushing indicates the proper fill height.)9.4 With downward pressure on the bushing, slowly slidethe bushing toward the hole while twisting it. This gives asnowplow action to the powder as it fa

19、lls slowly into the hole.Continue this motion until the bushing passes the hole. Stop,and again with downward pressure on the bushing, slide itstraight back over the hole to its starting position. The slidingaction must be slow enough to permit complete filling of thesteel block cavity.9.5 Remove th

20、e steel block from the preweighed paperbeing careful not to tip the block and spill additional powder onto the paper.9.6 Transfer the pre-weighed or tared paper to a balance andweigh. Calculate the density from the following equation:Apparent Density, g/cm35Mass in grams20 cm3(1)10. Report10.1 Repor

23、arative trials done in two differentlaboratories and on the basis of test error alone, a single test onthe same homogeneous lot of powder will differ by no morethan the stated amount.11.2 BiasNo bias statement can be made because there isno accepted standard or reference powder for apparent density.
