Summary of Test Method4.1 A preconditioned sample of dried fine catalyst or cata-lyst carrier particles is tapped in a graduated cylinder. Themecha

6、nically tapped packing density is determined from theknown mass and tapped volume.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is for measuring the mechanicallytapped packing density of powders that are smaller than 0.8mm in diameter, such as Fluidized Catalytic Cracking Catalysts(FCC).6. Apparatus6.

Procedure7.1 Heat an adequate sample at 400 6 15C for not less than3 h. Normally, this treatment can take place in air. However

9、, inthe case of materials that might react with air at elevatedtemperature (such as prereduced catalysts) the heat treatmentshould take place in an inert atmosphere. After heating, coolthe test sample in a desiccator or other suitable container toeliminate the possibility of moisture adsorption prio

The desiccant should be regenerated at 220 to260C, as required.N

11、OTE 3Multiple samples can be pretreated but must be desiccatedprior to analysis.7.2 Carefully pour between 90 and 100 mL of the testspecimen into the tared-graduated cylinder using a funnel. Toensure proper level, rotate the funnel while pouring the testspecimen. Weigh immediately to the nearest ten

16、d Bias39.1 Test ProgramAn interlaboratory study was conductedin which the named property was measured in two separate testmaterials in four separate laboratories. Practice E 691, modi-fied for non-uniform data sets, was followed for the datareduction. Analysis details are in the research report.9.2

17、PrecisionPairs of test results obtained by a proceduresimilar to that described in the study are expected to differ inabsolute value by less than 2.772 S, where 2.772 S is the 95 %probability interval limit on the difference between two testresults, and S is the appropriate estimate of standard devi
