Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 finesa synonym for particles with diameter of 106micrometers or smaller.3.1.2 micron and
6、m synonyms for micrometer.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The initial weight of a test sample of granular pesticideis determined. The sample is then air jet sieved using 106micron openings to remove the inherent fines. The fines-freegranules are then combined with glass beads in a glass jar, thelid is
7、placed on the jar, and the jar is placed on a roller systemwith a drive bed capable of rotating the jar at a known rpm.After rolling for a specified time period, the jar is removedfrom the rollers and the contents of the jar are poured througha sieve sized to remove the glass beads. The sample minus
8、 theglass beads is again air jet sieved using 106micron openings toremove the fines attrited during the rolling of the jar. The totalof particles smaller than 106microns for the test sample is theinherent fines plus the attrited fines. The particle size distribu-tion curve of the combined inherent a
9、nd attrited fines isdetermined by laser light diffraction using CIPAC Test MethodMT 187.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is designed specifically for granularpesticide formulations.5.2 This test method helps provide information on healthhazards likely to arise from exposures by the inhala
10、tion route.It can be of use in selecting dose levels for chronic studies andfor establishing safety criteria for human exposure.5.3 The amount of fines determined by this method is ameasure of potential inhalation and respiration toxicity becausethe hazards of inhaled solid substances are influenced
11、 byphysical factors such as particle size.6.

Hazards8.1 Before testing, read the precautionary statements on theproduct label and the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).Take proper precautions to prevent skin contact and inhalationof the fines. Take care to prevent contamin
18、ation of thesurrounding area. Always wear the appropriate safety equip-ment and, where indicated, wear respiratory devices approvedby the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health(NIOSH) for the product being tested.8.2 Storage, handling, and disposal of test pesticides shouldbe done with
19、 consideration for health and environmentalsafety, and in accordance with federal, state, and local regula-tions.9. Sampling, Test Specimens, and Test Units9.1 See Test Method E725 for proper sampling practices andprocedures to reduce a gross sample to a representative,suitable size for this test me
20、thod.10. Preparation of Apparatus10.1 For all apparatus, see manufacturers instructions forproper calibration, operation, and maintenance.11. Procedure11.1 The test sample should be 15 g, nominal. The exactamount of each sample should be recorded for use in necessarycalculations.11.2 Weigh the test
21、sample to the nearest 0.01 g (15 gnominal) and record as W (granules plus inherent inhalableparticles).11.3 Weigh the cyclone collection jar to the nearest 0.01 gand record as J1. Attach the jar to the apparatus.11.4 Measure and record the relative humidity of the air thatwill come in contact with t
22、he granules. In the absence ofhumidity controlled air, the air of concern will be the air of theroom in which the tests are performed.11.5 Place the 106m sieve in the air jet manifold of theMicron Air Jet Sieve or Alpine Air Jet Sieve. Gently transferthe entire test sample to the sieve and put the s
23、ieve cover inplace. Set the timer for 3 min. Start the vacuum and adjust thevacuum gauge to read 7 to 9 in. of water (1.7 to 2.4 kPa).During the sieving period, material adhering to the sieve coveror sieve sides may be loosened by use of tapping or by use oftrace amounts of anti-static compound.11.6
24、 After sieving, determine to the nearest 0.01 g theweight of granules retained on the sieve and record the weightas R1 (granules minus inherent fines).11.7 Determine to the nearest 0.01 g the weight of thecyclone collection jar plus inherent fines and record the weightas J2. Leave the fines in the j
25、ar. Reattach the jar to theapparatus.11.8 Calculate the weight per cent, to the nearest 0.1 %, ofthe inherent fines (IF) as determined by the weight of the finescollected in the jar. Use the following formula:% IF 5 J2 2 J1!W# 3100 (1)11.9 Transfer all the granules (R1) from the 106m sieveinto the 5
26、00 mL jar. Add an equal weight (6 1 g) of glassbeads. Place the lid on the jar.11.10 Place the jar on the roller. Measure the rotationalspeed of the jar, which must be 75 6 15 rpm. Calculate thetime period needed for 4500 revolutions, using the followingformula:Time period 5 4500measured rpm of the
27、jar (2)11.11 Rotate the jar for 4500 6 10 revolutions. Record thetime period and rpm with the data. With the rpm held constant,this time period should be used for all subsequent tests.11.12 Remove the jar from the roller.11.13 Again, place the 106m sieve in the air jet manifoldof the Air Jet Sieve.
28、Place the 2 mm sieve on top of the 106msieve.11.14 Gently pour the contents of the jar onto the 2 mmsieve (see Note 2). Be sure any material adhering to the jar wallis transferred from the jar. Be sure any material adhering to theglass beads retained on the 2 mm sieve is loosened and passesonto the
29、106m sieve below.NOTE 2A sieve with openings that will retain the glass beads butallow the granules to pass through must be used, and a reasonable size formost granular pesticides is 2 mm. If needed, a sieve with openings largerthan 2 mm can be used.11.15 Remove the 2 mm sieve and place the sieve co
30、ver onthe 106m sieve. Set the timer for 3 min. Start the vacuum andadjust the vacuum gauge to read 7 to 9 in. of water (1.7 to 2.4kPa). Material adhering to the sieve cover or sieve sides maybe loosened by tapping or by use of trace amounts of anti-staticcompound.4The Micron Air Jet Sieve and the Al
31、pine Air Jet Sieve use the same principleof design and working components. Both are products of Hosokawa MicronInternational of New York. The GAZ 125 cyclone fines collector is an accessory.E2316 03 (2014)211.16 Determine to the nearest 0.01 g the weight of thecyclone collection jar containing the c
32、ombined inherent finesplus attrited fines and record the weight as J3.11.17 Calculate the weight percent, to the nearest 0.1 %, ofthe total fines (TF) as determined by the weight of the fines inthe jar. Use the following formula:% TF 5 J3 2 J1!W# 3100 (3)11.18 Save the total fines (inherent plus att
33、rited) from thecyclone collection jar for particle size distribution analysis bylaser light diffraction using CIPAC Test Method MT 187.311.19 Clean and dry the sieves, glass beads, roller jar, andcyclone collection jar.11.20 Repeat the test, 11.1 through 11.19, two more timesusing fresh samples.11.2
34、1 Combine the collection of (3) total fines.11.22 Analyze the combined total fines from 11.21 forparticle size distribution by CIPAC Test Method MT 187.12. Report12.1 Report the average of three (3) test sample results.Table 1 is a guide for reporting.12.1.1 Report the particle size results of the c
35、ombined totalfines as follows:12.1.1.1 Particle size: d (10%), d (50%) and d (90%).12.1.1.2 Particle size distribution printout.13. Precision and Bias13.1 When the set of three test results yields an average of0.9 to 1.1 % fines, any two of the three must not differ morethan 25 % from each other. Be
36、low this level of fines, theallowable variation increases significantly, while above thislevel it decreases significantly. Limits for these have not beenassigned.13.2 This test method does not contain pass/fail limits. Theymust be set by the test method user in accordance with thepurposes for using
37、the test.13.3 Increasing the size of the test sample to more than thenominal 15 g specified will increase the variability in the testresults.13.4 Particle size distribution analysis by light diffractionrequires a minimum weight of fines which, in most cases, willbe 0.3 g.14.
