EN 725-5:2007 (E) 4 1 Scope This Part of EN 725 describes the preparation of suspensions and calibration of apparatus, prior to the measurement of particle size distribution of powders used for advanced technical ceramics. The preparation described is appropriate

20、for measurements either by the sedimentation method or the laser light scattering method. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition

21、 of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN ISO/IEC 17025, General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories (ISO/IEC 17025:2005) 3 Apparatus 3.1 Glass microscope slides and cover slips. 3.2 Optical microscope. 3.3 Beaker, 50 ml to 100 ml. 3.4 Ult

22、rasonicator. 3.5 Magnetic stirrer. 3.6 Particle size analyser. 4 Preparation of the suspension 4.1 Selection of liquid The dispersing liquid for the suspension shall not react with or dissolve the powder. For the sedimentation method of analysis, the density of the liquid shall be less than that of

23、the powder by at least 0,5 g/cm. For the laser light scattering method of analysis, the liquid shall be optically transparent for the wavelength used. NOTE 1 This is generally 633 nm. The liquid shall have a refractive index which is substantially different from that of the sample. NOTE 2 Any specif

24、ic manufacturers instructions regarding the refractive index of the dispersing liquid should be taken into account. EN 725-5:2007 (E) 5 The liquid for the suspension shall be selected, together with any dispersing agent, from those given in Annex A. NOTE 3 Additional information is given in the bibl

25、iographical references listed. The dispersion of powder in the liquid shall be checked by one of the methods given in 4.2. 4.2 Dispersion checking 4.2.1 Optical microscopic examination Place a drop of the prepared suspension on the glass slide (3.1) of a microscope (3.2) and carefully cover with a c

26、over slip (3.1). Observe the preparation under a suitable magnification, to determine if particles are completely separated and well dispersed, or if they are gathered together in chains or clusters. NOTE This method is not suitable for powders with particle diameters of less than 5 m. 4.2.2 Qualita

27、tive test by sedimentation Allow the suspension to stand. A correctly dispersed suspension settles less rapidly than a suspension which flocculates, and shows no clear border line between the liquid which becomes clear and the layer which is still turbid as sedimentation proceeds. The sediment obtai

28、ned is compact and of a minimal volume. 4.2.3 Scanning electron microscope (S.E.M.) examination Check the correlation of the particle size distribution obtained with the mean size of the ultimate particles observed by S.E.M. If the suspension is not sufficiently dispersed, particles are partially ag

29、gregated and particle size distribution measurements thus give values much higher than the mean size of the ultimate particles observed. 4.2.4 Quantitative test by sedimentation Perform the quantitative tests, while allowing a variation of the various parameters liable to influence the dispersion qu

30、ality. Choose the dispersion procedure which gives the smallest mean particle diameter. An examination of the shape of the distribution can give an indication of the presence of agglomerates. 5 Calibration Check the working order of the apparatus, by analysing standard powders regularly. NOTE Inform

31、ation on available standard reference powders is provided in Annex B. 6 Procedure 6.1 Determine the quantity of powder, the type and quantity of suspending liquid and the dispersing agent to be used. NOTE In principle, and within the limits imposed by the instrument, the sample mass to be dispersed

32、has no influence on the results. However, it is preferable to use dilute suspensions. 6.2 For the sedimentation method, ensure that the volume concentration is less than or equal to 0,2 %. 6.3 For the laser Iight scattering method, for all determinations to be accurate, ensure that all particles pre

33、sent in the pencil rays are separate and diffract independently from each other. EN 725-5:2007 (E) 6 NOTE This condition should be fulfilled when each particle with a radius a is in the centre of a circle with a radius R = a, when there is no secant circle and when no particle casts a shadow on the

34、others. 6.4 In a 50 ml to 100 ml beaker (3.3) prepare a first test sample. Mix the suspending liquid and the dispersing agent, add the powder while stirring the suspension, and disperse using the ultrasonicator (3.4) until free of agglomerates. Continue stirring with a magnetic stirrer (3.5) until t

35、he start of the analysis. 6.5 Read the technical instructions of the instrument for general adjustments prior to the test and follow the manufacturers recommendations for using the instrument when performing the test. 6.6 Repeat the procedure on a second test sample and plot the particle size distri

36、bution curves. If the curves are similar, it may be deduced that the dispersion is stable and that no mistake has been made during the test. If the curves are not similar, check the dispersion again (see 4.2). 7 Expression of results Record the suspension and dispersion conditions in a table similar

37、 to the example given in Annex C. Present the results either in graphic form as in Annex D, with the cumulative particle size distribution curve obtained automatically on the measurement sheet of the instrument, specifying test conditions in the appropriate part of the sheet, or as a table of result

38、s: a recommended layout example is given in Annex E. 8 Test report The test report shall be in accordance with the reporting provisions of EN ISO/IEC 17025 and shall include at least the following information: a) name and address of the testing establishment; b) date of the test; c) on each page, a

39、unique report identification and page number; d) customer name and address; e) reference to this standard, i.e. determined in accordance with EN 725-5; f) authorising signature; g) any deviation from the method described, with appropriate validation, i.e. demonstrated to be acceptable to the parties

40、 involved; h) description of the test material (manufacturer, type, batch or code number, date of receipt) including any treatment before testing; i) suspension and dispersion conditions in the form of a table similar to the example given in Annex C; j) reference powder used to calibrate the instrum

41、ent (see clause 5) and the results obtained on a given date; k) for the sedimentation method only, the apparent density of the powder, apparent density and viscosity of the suspending liquid, displacement rate of the cell, temperature of the suspension and the initial diameter; l) comments about the

42、 test or test results. EN 725-5:2007 (E) 7 Annex A (informative) Suspending liquids and dispersing agents The following alphabetical list in Table A.1 gives examples of suspending liquids and dispersing agents most commonly used for the main technical ceramic powders. Surface characteristics, and co

43、nsequently dispersion behaviour, depend on the powder type, but also on its manufacturing process. Therefore, the suspending liquid and dispersing agent may vary among powders of the same type. Among the dispersing agents listed in the third column of Table A.1, 9 are designated by a number (d.a No.

44、 1 to No 9). Their chemical composition is as follows: d.a. No 1 Dioctylsulfosuccinates; d.a. No 2 Trimethylcetyl ammonium bromide; d.a. No 3 Polyoxyethylene nonylphenol; d.a. No 4 Linear polyethoxy derivates; d.a. No 5 Sodium alkylnaphthalene sulfonate; d.a. No 6 Sorbitol monolaurate; d.a. No 7 Pol
