Summary of Test Method4.1 Individual extrudates taken from a representativesample are calcined, measured in length, placed between twoflat surfaces, and subjected to a compressive force. The forcerequired to crush the extrudate is measured. The procedure isreplicated, the force

Sampling7.1 A test sample of 50 to 200 individual particles shall beobtained from larger composites by riffling or splitting accord-ing to STP 447A,3with the aim of obtaining a representativesample that represents both the s

16、hape and size of the largercomposite. The amount of the sample shall depend on theprecision required and the homogeneity of the material beingtested.All of the individual particles sampled that have a lengthto diameter ratio greater than or equal to one shall be tested.7.2 Heat the test sample(s) at

17、 400 6 15C for not less than3h.NOTE 1Moisture pick-up by extrudates is often rapid and themeasured crush strength may be affected.7.3 After heating, cool the test sample(s) in a desiccator orother suitable container to prevent the adsorption of moisturebefore testing.NOTE 2If the catalyst may be dam

18、aged at 400C, a lower temperaturecan be used so long as it is specified with the result. Normally, thistreatment can take place in air. However, for materials that might reactwith air at elevated temperatures (such as prereduced catalysts), the heattreatment should take place in an inert atmosphere.

19、NOTE 3Since many catalyst formulations are strong adsorbents, theuse of 4A indicating (cobalt-treated) molecular sieves as a desiccatingmedium is suggested. Regenerate the desiccant at 220 to 260C, asrequired.8. Calibration and Standardization8.1 Before use, the test apparatus should be set to zero

20、andcalibrated with any commercially available force gage withmarked graduations of no more than12 lbf (2 N) and havingaccuracy traceable to the National Institute for Standards andTechnology or other similar authority.9. Procedure9.1 Remove from the desiccator only that number of extru-dates that ca

21、n be tested within a 10-min period. To hold the dryextrudates, the use of an upright fritted disk funnel equippedwith a dry, upward-flowing, inert gas purge is suggested.NOTE 4Precaution must be taken to ensure that moisture pick-up inthe 10-min period will not significantly affect the extrudate cru

22、sh strength.9.2 Measure and record the length of an extrudate to thenearest tenth of a millimetre. Use tweezers, forceps, or othersuitable device or procedure to prevent the transfer of moisturefrom the operators hands to the piece being tested.9.3 Then place the measured extrudate that has a length

23、 todiameter ratio greater than or equal to one between the anvilsof the compression testing device. The extrudates shall be flatagainst the face of the anvil and be crushed radially (see Fig.1).9.4 Apply increasing force at a uniform rate in the range of1 to 5 lbf/s (4.4 to 22 N/s) until the extruda

24、te crushes orcollapses. Compression of any surface irregularities or limitedfracturing of the extrudate followed by continued resistance toincreasing load are not be used as criteria for determining theendpoint of this test.9.5 Read and record, to the nearest one-half graduation orfirst decimal plac

25、e, the force indicated on the calibrated meterof the apparatus at the instant of collapse.Apressure holding orrecording device coupled to the moving anvil is suggested toindicate the pressure at the time of collapse.9.6 Separate the anvils and remove all residue with a softcloth or brush. Ensure tha

26、t the faces of the anvils are free fromadhering particles.9.7 Repeat 9.2-9.6 until all extrudates with a length todiameter ratio greater than or equal to one in the sample havebeen crushed.10. Calculation10.1 Calculate the crush strength per millimetre (x) for eachextrudate, retaining the results to

27、 the nearest tenth unit, asfollows:x 5FL(1)where:x = the crush strength for one extrudate per millimetre,lbf/mm (N/mm),F = the force necessary to crush the extrudate, lbf (N), andL = the length of the extrudate along its cylindrical axis,mm.10.2 Calculate the mean crush strength per millimeter (X)as

28、follows, retaining the results to the nearest tenth unit:X 5(x/n (2)3STP 447A, Manual on Test Sieving Methods, Section 5.12, ASTMInternational, W. Conshohocken, PA. This title is out of print.FIG. 1 Placement of Extrudate Between AnvilsD6175 03 (2013)2where:X = mean crush strength millimetre, lbf/mm

29、 (N/mm),x = the sum of the observed crush strengths per millimetre,andn = the number of extrudates crushed.10.3 Calculate the standard deviation of the n readings (tothree significant digits):S 5(X 2 X!2n 2 1lbf N! (3)where:S = standard deviation of the individual strength inlbf/mm (N/mm).X2X!2= the

30、 sum of the squares of the deviations of eachindividual strength per millimetre from the aver-age strength per millimetre.NOTE 5Many calculators are programmed to perform these operationsand to report average and standard deviation directly. It is important toverify that the program chosen uses the

31、n-1 denominator rather than n incalculating standard deviation.11. Report11.1 Report the mean crush strength per millimetre (X)tothe nearest tenth unit and the standard deviation (S).11.2 Record and report the number of particles measured.11.3 If applicable, report the method used to obtain theanaly

32、sis sample from the parent sample.12. Precision and Bias12.1 Test ProgramAn interlaboratory study was con-ducted in which the named property was measured in twoseparate test materials in six and seven laboratories. PracticeE691, modified for non-uniform data sets, was followed for thedata reduction.

33、 See Table 1.12.2 PrecisionPairs of test results obtained by the proce-dure described in the test method are expected to differ inabsolute value by less than 2.772 S, where 2.772 S is the 95 %probability interval on the difference between two test results,and S is the appropriate estimate of standar

34、d deviation.Definitions and usage are given in Terminology E456 andPractice E177, respectively.12.3 BiasThe procedure described is without bias sincethe property is defined in terms of the procedure.13.
