1、Designation: C 357 07 (Reapproved 2009)1Standard Test Method forBulk Density of Granular Refractory Materials1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C 357; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of la
2、st revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1NOTEUnits usage was updated in April 2009.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers a procedure for determining thebulk density of granul
3、ar refractory materials, commercialproducts which usually have particles that are retained on a0.265-in. (6.7-mm) or coarser sieve.NOTE 1This test method is not suitable for materials that hydrate inboiling water.1.2 UnitsThe values stated in inch-pound units are to beregarded as standard. The value
4、s given in parentheses aremathematical conversions to SI units that are provided forinformation only and are not considered standard.1.2.1 ExceptionsIn Sections 4, 7, and 8, the apparatusused is only available in SI units.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if an
5、y, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

6、stingPurposes3. Significance and Use3.1 Granular refractory materials may be either refractorygrain raw materials that are used in the manufacture of finishedrefractory products, or bulk granular refractory materials thatare sold, with or without some degree of processing, torefractory consumers for
7、 various uses. In either case, charac-terizing the properties of a granular refractory material isessential in evaluating its quality or consistency of quality andin determining suitability for end use. One of the importantproperties is bulk density because of its relationship to endproduct quality,
8、 usage, and performance.3.2 The refractories producer can use this test method as oneof the quality-control tests for his manufactured or minedrefractory grain raw materials or for evaluating potentialrefractory grain raw materials.3.3 For the refractories consumer, the principal use of thistest met
9、hod is in the evaluation of the quality or the consistencyof quality of the granular material in purchased refractorymixes or in bulk granular refractory materials used by theconsumer.3.4 This is a primary test method, and thus is suitable for usein specifications, quality control, and research and
10、develop-ment. It can also serve as a referee test method in purchasingcontracts or agreements and as a base for development of morerapid, secondary test methods for use in quality control onmanufactured refractory raw materials.3.5 Fundamental assumptions inherent in this test methodare that the sam
11、ple is representative of the material in general,the particle size of the sample is within the range specified bythe test method, the material is not readily hydratable, and thesize and quantity of pores in the material permits removal ofsurface water without drainage from the pores themselves.Devia
12、tion from any of these assumptions negates the useful-ness of the test results.3.6 In interpreting the results of this test method, it must berecognized that the specific gravity of the material as well asthe porosity affects the value obtained for bulk density. Thus,comparisons of results should on
13、ly be made between likematerials or with full recognition of inherent differencesbetween the materials being compared.4.

Test Samples5.1 The sample consists of at leas
19、t 5.5 lb (2.5 kg) carefullyselected to represent the material being tested.5.2 When possible, take three or more such samples torepresent proportionate parts of the material, and test theseseparately.6. Preparation of Test Sample6.1 Crush each sample when necessary and screen dry topass the 0.265-in
20、. (6.7-mm) sieve and be retained on the No. 8(2.36-mm) mesh sieve (Note 2). Take care to adjust the crusherso as to obtain some particles that will be retained on the0.265-in. sieve, thereby increasing the amount retained on thefiner sieve. The portion not passing the coarser sieve may berecrushed u
21、ntil it passes. The sieving may be carried out in amechanical device or by hand.6.2 After the sieving, treat various types of materials asfollows:6.2.1 With material that has been calcined and cooled notmore than 2 h prior to testing, blow free of dust with clean air(moisture- and oil-free).6.2.2 Wa
22、sh other materials in a stream of tap water for atleast 5 min or until all dust is removed. Oven-dry overnight at220 to 230F (105 to 110C).7. Procedure7.1 Divide the sample by quartering or riffling to obtain aportion for testing of about 25 cm3in bulk and weighingbetween 60 and 90 g, depending upon
23、 the bulk density. Weighthis sample to the nearest 10 mg and record as the dry weight.7.2 Place the test sample in a beaker of water and boil for 1h during which the grains shall be completely covered withwater. Cool the sample to room temperature by running coldwater into the beaker or by a similar
24、 method.7.3 Rinse the clean buret (Note 3) thoroughly and introduceapproximately 25 mL of distilled water at room temperature.Allow it to stand until drops of water on the sides settle into thebody of liquid.NOTE 3Clean the burette or the Le Chatelier Specific Gravity Bottlefrequently with a good cl
25、eaning solution such as liquid soap to ensurecomplete drainage without drops of water forming on the inside walls.7.3.1 Alternately rinse the clean specific gravity bottle andfill with distilled water at room temperature as close to the 0mark as possible. Allow it to stand until drops of water on th
26、esides settle into the body of liquid. Take a clean piece of spongethat is hooked to a stainless steel or copper wire and is longenough to reach to the bottom of the straight section. Insert thesponge into the bottle and with circular motion try to mop upany excess water from the sides. Make sure th
27、at the spongesurface does not touch the top of the water meniscus. Recordthe level of water in the bottle to the nearest 0.05 mL indicatingif the level is below or above the 0 mark. If the level is at 0mark then record that.7.4 Totally saturate blotting cloth (smooth linen or lint freecotton) with w
28、ater, then gently wring out to a no-drip condi-tion. Spread out damp cloth (landscape orientation) and pourwet grain carefully onto cloth, with no loss of particles. With asmall metal spatula, spread grain over left half of cloth to asingle grain layer. Fold right half of cloth over top of grain and
29、gently pat to blot, without abrading any grain edges if possible.Open cloth and, using edges, roll grain into center, then ontoleft half of cloth; repeat these steps as necessary until grainshave lost their sheen and no grains are adhering together. Careshould be taken to avoid excessive blotting th
30、at will induceerror by withdrawing water from the pores of the specimen.Open cloth and roll grain into center, using metal spatula toassist in grain transfer.7.5 Record the water meniscus level in the buret to thenearest 0.05 mL. Pour grains into the buret and shake so as tocause the grains and drop
31、s of water to submerge into the water,with no air bubbles attached. Read the new position on themeniscus to the nearest 0.05 mL without delay and record thedifference between the first and second readings as the volumeof the grains.7.5.1 Alternately pour grains into the specific gravity bottleslowly
32、 and shake slightly so as to cause the grains and drops ofwater to submerge into the water, with no air bubbles attached.Read the new position on the meniscus to the nearest 0.05 mLwithout delay. If the original reading was above 0 then subtractthat from the second reading. If the original reading w
33、as below0 then add that to the second reading to obtain the volume ofthe grains.7.6 Test materials that may hydrate in boiling water forignition loss, to learn whether hydration has taken place. Usetwo portions of the sample, one taken immediately beforeboiling and the second after the volume measur

When the loss for the boiled material is higher thanthat of the dry material by more
37、than 0.50 %, the results shallbe discarded and the test method considered inapplicable.9. Precision and Bias9.1 Interlaboratory DataAn interlaboratory study wasconducted in 1990 in which a sample of tabular alumina wassplit and tested in five laboratories. Three operators in eachlaboratory tested th
