Endorsement notice The text of the International Standard ISO3944:1992 was approved by CEN as a EuropeanStandard with agreed common modifications as given below: in clause 1 Scope of ISO3944 the applicability is limited to dry fertilizers only. This r

19、equirement has been amended to free-flowing fertilizers. Furthermore, a limit for particles exceeding5mm in diameter has been set at20%; the bulk density (loose) is expressed in grams per cubic centimetre (g/cm 3 ) in ISO3944; in this European Standard it is expressed in kilograms per cubic metre (k

20、g/m 3 ); the normative references to International Standards ISO7742:1988 and ISO8358:1991 concerning methods of sampling and sample preparation have been deleted and the method used has to be indicated in the test report; an informative Annex ZA Bibliography has been added. The common modifications

21、 have been inserted in the text of the reference document and are indicated by a vertical line in the margin.EN1236:1995 BSI 11-1999 3 Introduction The bulk densities (loose and tapped) of a fertilizer provide information relative to the required size of packaging materials, store-houses, stock-room

22、s, etc. Generally, the bulk density (tapped) is up to10% greater than the bulk density (loose), and sometimes it may exceed this value. Both bulk densities depend on the actual density, surface form and particle size of the fertilizers. The bulk density (loose) can be used to calculate the maximum v

23、olume of a given weight of fertilizer which may be expected in practice. The actual volume occupied by a given weight of fertilizer will normally be within the range calculated from the bulk density (loose) and the bulk density (tapped). 1 Scope This International Standard specifies a method for the

24、 determination of the bulk density (loose) of solid fertilizers except powder fertilizers. The method is applicable to free-flowing fertilizers. The method is not suitable for materials which contain more than20% by mass of particles exceeding5mm in diameter. Annex ZA lists the bibliography. 2 Defin

25、ition For the purposes of this International Standard, the following definition applies. 2.1 bulk density (loose) of a fertilizer the mass per volume of a material tipped into a container and under clearly specified conditions the bulk density (loose) is expressed in kilograms per cubic metre (kg/m

26、3 ) 3 Principle Pouring of the fertilizer from a specified funnel into a specified measuring cylinder of known volume and weighing of the contents of the cylinder. 4 Apparatus 4.1 Balance, capable of weighing to the nearest1g. 4.2 Apparatus for determination of bulk density (loose), having the appro

27、ximate dimensions given in Figure 1 and consisting of the following. 4.2.1 Removable measuring cylinder, without a spout. The capacity u to the brim shall be known to the nearest cubic centimetre. CAUTION It is important that those parts of the apparatus which are in contact with the fertilizer are

28、made of corrosion-resistant material (glass, plastics,etc.). 4.2.2 Firmly mounted funnel 4.3 Spatula, approximately120mm 20mm, or other suitable scraper. 5 Preparation of test sample Prepare the test sample by appropriate methods, ensuring that the sample is sufficient to carry out two separate dete

29、rminations. 6 Procedure Pour into the closed funnel(4.2.2) a quantity of the fertilizer greater than that needed to fill the measuring cylinder(4.2.1). Fully open the slide of the funnel so that the contents discharge into the measuring cylinder in6s to12s. If the fertilizer does not flow freely, ke

30、ep the outlet clear by inserting a rod of3mm to4mm diameter into the opening. When the cylinder overflows, close the slide of the funnel and scrape away the surplus fertilizer using the spatula or other suitable tool(4.3). Avoid vibration of the filled measuring cylinder. Remove the measuring cylind

31、er from below the funnel and weigh its contents to the nearest1g of the total mass. Carry out two determinations, in rapid succession, on separate test portions taken from the same test sample. 7 Expression of results 7.1 Method of calculation The bulk density (loose), , of the fertilizer, in kilogr

32、ams per cubic metre, is given by the equation Take as the result the arithmetic mean of the two determinations provided that the requirement for repeatability (see7.2) is satisfied. 7.2 Repeatability The difference between the results of two determinations, carried out in rapid succession by the sam

33、e operator using the same apparatus, shall not exceed10 kg/m 3 . where m is the mass, in kilograms, of the test portion; V is the volume up to the brim, in cubic metres, of the measuring cylinder. m V - =EN1236:1995 4 BSI 11-1999 8 Test report The test report shall include the following particulars:

34、 a) identification of the sample; b) reference to the method used; c) the result and the method of expression; d) any unusual features noted during the determination; e) any operation not included in this International Standard or regarded as optional; f) method of sampling and sample preparation.EN
