Apparatus 1 Scope This part of EN 725 describes a method for the determination of the untamped bulk density of ceramic powders. 2 Principle The mass of a known volume of the powder is determined after allowing it to fall freely into a stationary container, avoiding vibration. The untamped bulk density is expressed by division of this mass by the volume of the container. 3 Apparatus (see figure 1) 3.1 Stainless steel cylindrical container, of volume approximately 100 cm3and a diameter to height ratio of 1. 3.2 24 mesh (710 mm) sieve, with a typical diameter of 80 mm. 3.3 Balance, with a precision of 0,01 g. 3.4 Tray, to collect the powder during the filling of the container. Page 4 EN 725-9 : 1997 © BSI 1997 3.5 Suitable apparatus for the powder sieve assembly, including a fixing system for the sieve with a cone in its lower part to allow the sieve and the cone to be set to a predetermined height above the top level of the cylindrical container (see 3.1), and an electric system to regulate the vibration of the sieve. 4 Procedure 4.1 Sample treatment If there is any treatment of the sample of powder before measurement (e.g. drying), this shall be recorded in the test report. 4.2 Measurement Weigh the cylindrical container (see 3.1). Set the cylindrical container in the tray (see 3.4) so that its axis coincides with that of the cone, with the level of the sieve at a height of 190 mm above the cylindrical container top. Fill the sieve with the sample. If necessary start the vibration system (see 3.5) and regulate it to allow the powder to flow evenly. Fill the cylindrical container in between 20 s and 30 s. Stop the feed when the powder has formed a cone above the top of the cylindrical container and is spilling over. Remove the cone of surplus powder by gently drawing a straight edge across the top rim of the cylindrical container, without communicating any vibration to the latter. Weigh the cylindrical container and its contents. 5 Expression of results The untamped bulk density rbis given by the formula rb= m12 m0 V where mois the mass, in grams, of the empty cylindrical container; m1is the mass, in grams, of the cylindrical container full of powder; Vis the volume, in cubic centimetres, of the cylindrical container. Calculate the density in grams per cubic centimetre and then convert the answer to kilograms per cubic metre, to the nearest 5 kg/m3. 6 Test report The test report shall include the following information: a) the name of the testing establishment; b) date of the test, report identification and number, operator, signatory; c) a reference to this standard, i.e. determined in accordance with EN 725-9; d) a description of the powder (material type, manufacturer code, batch or code number); e) any pre-treatment of the powder such as drying; f) the results; g) any unusual features noted during the determination; h) any comments about the test or test results. 7 Repeatability and reproducibility The experience of three laboratories indicates that the method is capable, for an alumina powder with an untamped bulk density of 909 kg/m3, of achieving: a) a standard deviation of repeatability of 7 kg/m3; b) a standard deviation of reproducibility of 9 kg/m3. blank BSI 389 Chiswick High Road London W4 4AL | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | BSI Ð British Standards Institution BSI is the independent national body responsible for preparing British Standards.
