Summary of Test Method4.1 Loose

16、bulk density (Method A) is determined by mea-suring the volume of a known mass of powder that has beenpassed through a screen or funnel into a graduated cylinder.4.2 Tapped bulk density (Method B) is achieved by me-chanically tapping a measuring cylinder containing a powder.After observing the initi

17、al volume, the cylinder is mechanicallytapped, and volume readings are taken until little furthervolume change is observed.5. Significance and Use5.1 The data from the loose bulk density test can be used toestimate the size of bags, totes, small bins or hoppers for thestorage of a fixed mass of powd

18、er in its loose condition. It canalso be used to estimate the mass of powder that will fit insmall size containers such as drums. It cannot be used toestimate powder quantities of large vessels such as silos.5.2 Values of loose bulk density obtained using this testmethod should be used with caution,

19、 since they can varyconsiderably depending on the inital state of dispersion of thetest specimen, height-to-diameter ratio of specimen in gradu-ated cylinder, dryness of powder, and other factors.5.3 The data from the tapped bulk density test can be usedto estimate the needed volume of small contain

20、ers holding afixed mass of powder that has been compacted. An examplewould be a packing line where vibration is used to tamppowders into a small container for effective packing purposes.5.4 Bulk density values can vary significantly if the particlesize of the actual material to be handled is differe

21、nt than tested.A bulk solid consisting of large and small particles often hashigher bulk densities than the fine particles by themselves. Forpowders, lower densities are possible if the fine particles arefluidized or aerated.5.5 The results of this test method are most applicable tocontainers with v

22、olumes up to about one cubic meter. Anothermethod (such as D 6683) should be used when consideringlarger silos.NOTE 1The quality of the results produced by this standard isdependent on the competence of the personnel performing it, and thesuitability of the equipment and facilities used. Agencies th

23、at meet thecriteria of Practice D 3740 are generally considered capable of competentand objective testing/sampling/inspection/etc. Users of this standard arecautioned that compliance with Practice D 3740 does not in itself assurereliable results. Reliable results depend on many factors; Practice D 3

24、740provides a means of evaluating some of those factors. Practice D 3740 wasdeveloped for agencies engaged in the testing or inspection (or both) ofsoil and rock. As such it is not totally applicable to agencies performingthis standard. However, users of this standard should recognize that theframew

25、ork of Practice D 3740 is appropriate for evaluating the quality ofan agency performing this standard. Currently there is no known quali-fying national authority that inspects agencies that perform this standard.6. Apparatus6.1 Balance having a minimum capacity of 400 g andmeeting the requirements o

Preparation of Apparatus7.1 Check that the balance is set on a sturdy table or bench,leveled and zeroed.7.2 Make sure that

28、the graduated cylinder is clean of anyand all foreign material (including water or other liquids) priorto starting each test.7.3 Depending on the untapped apparent volume of the testspecimen and its particle size gradation, choose either a 250mLor 100 mLstandard glass graduated cylinder using the ta

Procedure8.1 Loose Bulk Density (Method A):8.1.1 Determine and record the mass of the graduatedcylinder to the nearest 0.1 g

30、.8.1.2 Choose an appropriate dispersion method to ensurethat the material hasnt agglomerated from transit. If this test isbeing conducted on a fine powder with particles much smallerthan 1 mm, pass a sufficient quantity though a 1.00 mm (18mesh) screen to break up agglomerates that may have formeddu

31、ring storage. Oversized particles should not be excludedfrom the test. Should any particles not pass through the screen,an alternate dispersion method is required, such as selecting ascreen slightly larger than the largest particle to pass thematerial through, or stirring the material in a mixing bo

32、wl witha spatula. Maximum limits on particle size for this test areprovided in 7.3. Avoid agglomeration and segregation ofmaterial. Describe method used on Test Data Sheet.8.1.3 If necessary, carefully level the powder without com-pacting, and read the unsettled apparent volume to the nearestgraduat

33、ed unit. Determine and record the volume of thepowder in the cylinder to the nearest graduated unit; that is, 1mL for the 100-mL cylinder and 2 mL for the 250-mL cylinder,noting that 1 mL is equal to 1 cm3.8.1.4 An alternate method would be to fill a 250-mL or100-mL cylinder to a measured volume lin

35、ass using a suitable mechanical tapped density testerthat provides a fixed drop of 14 6 2 mm at a nominal rate of300 drops per minute. This is Method B1.D74810928.2.3 An alternate method (Method B2) is to use a fixeddrop of 3 mm 6 0.3 mm at a nominal rate of 250 drops perminute. This may yield lower

36、 values of tapped bulk density.8.2.4 Unless otherwise specified, tap the cylinder 500 timesinitially and measure the tapped volume to the nearest gradu-ated unit. Determine and record the volume of the powder inthe cylinder to the nearest graduated unit; that is, 1 mL for the100-mL cylinder and 2 mL

37、 for the 250-mL cylinder, noting that1 mL is equal to 1 cm3.8.2.5 If necessary, carefully level the powder without com-pacting, and read the settled apparent volume to the nearestgraduated unit.8.2.6 Repeat the tapping an additional 750 times and mea-sure the tapped volume to the nearest graduated u

38、nit.NOTE 2Fewer taps may be appropriate, if validated, for somepowders.8.2.7 If the difference of the two tapped volumes of 8.2.3and 8.2.5 is less than 2 %, use the second measurement for thetapped volume. Otherwise, repeat in increments of 1250 taps,as needed, until the difference between succeedin

Calculations9.1 Loose Bulk Density (Method A):9.1.1 Determine the net mass of the specimen by subtractingthe mass of the graduated cylinder from that of the specimenplus graduated cylinder.9.1.2 Divide the net mass of the specimen by the measuredvolume as noted on

40、 the graduated cylinder. The calculatedvalue is the loose bulk density in g/cm3. Record value to twosignificant digits if 100-mL cylinder is used, and three signifi-cant digits if 250-mL cylinder is used.9.2 Tapped Bulk Density (Method B):9.2.1 Divide the net mass of the specimen by the measuredvolu

Precision and Bias11

47、.1 PrecisionTest data on precision is not presented dueto the nature of the powder and other bulk solids tested by thisstandard. It is not feasible or too costly at this time to have tenor more laboratories participate in a round-robin testing pro-gram. In addition, it is either not feasible or too

48、costly toproduce multiple specimens that have uniform physical prop-erties. Any variation observed in the data is just as likely to bedue to specimen variation as to operator or laboratory varia-tion.11.1.1 Subcommittee D18.24 is seeking any data from usersof this standard that might be used to make

49、 a limited statementon precision.11.2 BiasThere is no accepted reference value for thisstandard, therefore, bias cannot be determined.12.
