It is identical with ISO 3369:1975, published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). This British Standard supersedes BS 5600-3.1:1979 and BS 5600-4.4:1979 which are withdrawn. This edition makes no technical changes to these standards. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i and ii, the EN title page, pages 2 to 6, an inside back cover and a back cover.

CEN members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration. Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on application to the Central Secretariat or to any CEN member. This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other language made by translation under the responsibility of a CEN member into its own language and notified to the Central Secretariat has the same status as the official versions.

NOTEFor determination of density of permeable sintered metal materials, see ISO 2738, Permeable sintered metal materials Determination of density and open porosity. 2 References ISO. . ., Sintered metal materials, excluding hardmetals Sampling1). ISO. . ., Hardmetals Sampling and preparation of test pieces1). 3 Principle Weighing of a test piece first in air and then in a liquid, and determination of the density by calculation. 4 Apparatus and materials 4.1 Precision balance having a capacity which will permit readings within ± 0,1 mg on weighings up to 10 g and ± 0,001 % above 10 g. The weights shall be calibrated and have a density not less than 7 g/cm3. 4.2 Arrangement of racks or a suspension wire according to Figure 1 and Figure 2. In each case the suspension wire shall have a maximum diameter of 0,25 mm. Heavier gauge wire shall only be used if necessary to support the test piece. 4.3 Vessel for the weighing liquid. For test pieces of volume less than 10 cm3 the vessel shall be dimensioned so that when the test piece is lowered into the liquid the rise in liquid level is less than 2,5 mm. 4.4 Distilled or de-ionized and preferably degassed water, to which 1 or 2 drops of a wetting agent have been added. The following values shall be used for the density in air, Ôw, of distilled water: NOTE 1Other liquids may be used if their density in air at the testing temperature is known to four places of decimals. NOTE 2Using brass weights in air, the value of Ôw is 0,001 06 g/cm3 smaller than the true density of water measured in a vacuum. 5 Test piece 5.1 Sampling shall be carried out in accordance with ISO. . . or ISO. . . 5.2 The volume of the test piece shall be at least 0,5 cm3. If it is required to determine the density of pieces having a volume less than 0,5 cm3, group several pieces together to make one determination, provided that each piece has a volume not less than 0,05 cm3. 5.3 The surface of the test piece shall be thoroughly cleaned from adhering foreign material, such as dirt, grease and oil. 6 Procedure 6.1 Place the test piece in the upper rack (Figure 1) or pan (Figure 2). The lower rack shall be completely immersed and the suspension wire shall be hanging freely from the pan and partially immersed in the liquid. Remove all air bubbles and weigh (m1). 1) In preparation.

Lower the test piece into the vessel containing the liquid so that only the suspension wire breaks the surface of the liquid. Remove all air bubbles and weigh. 6.3 Weighings up to 10 g shall be read to 0,1 mg and weighings above 10 g shall be read to 0,001 %. 6.4 The test piece, liquid and surrounding air shall be at the same temperature when weighing is carried out. The temperature of the liquid shall be determined. When distilled water is used, its density shall be taken from the table in 4.4. 7 Expression of results The density, Ô, of the test piece, in grams per cubic centimetre, is given by the formula: where Report the result rounded to the nearest 0,01 g/cm3. 8 Test report The test report shall include the following information: a) reference to this International Standard; b) all details necessary for identification of the test sample; c) the result obtained; d) all operations not specified by this International Standard, or regarded as optional; e) details of any occurrence which may have affected the result.Ô1is the density in air of the liquid, in grams per cubic centimetre; Ô m1Ô1× m2 - -= m1is the mass, in grams, of the test piece determined by weighing in air; m2is the mass, in grams, of the liquid displaced by the test piece, determined by subtracting the apparent mass of the test piece in the liquid from the mass of the test piece in air.
