2、n. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of

3、 the appar-ent density of granular activated carbon. For purposes of thistest method, granular activated carbon is defined as a minimumof 90 % being larger than 80 mesh.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.3 Thi

4、s standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, 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、of Laboratory VolumetricApparatus3. Summary of Test Method3.1 Apparent density (bulk density) is determined on agranular sample by measuring the volume packed by a free fallfrom a vibrating feeder into an appropriately sized graduatedcylinder and determining the mass of the known volume. Othermethod

7、s for determining apparent density of granular orpowdered materials exist. These may involve vibration ortapping of the receiving vessel either while it is being filled orafterwards. Application of these methods to granular activatedcarbon may give packed density values that differ from thosedetermi

8、ned by this test method.4. Significance and Use4.1 This test method provides a method for determining thepacked density of a bed of granular activated carbon. Deter-mination of the packed density is essential when designingvessels to hold the material and for ordering purposes whenprocuring material
